When the
Lights Go On Again All Over the World
Written by Eddie Seller, Sol Marcus, and Bennie Benjamin
The title refers to the practice of having to black out
possible bombing targets and to avoid back-lighting
targets for bombs.
<intro-muted cornets and trombones>
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies
above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love"
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and
free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world
<instrumental break>
When the lights go on again all over the world

The streets below us were
semi-illuminated from the glow.
Immediately above the fires the
sky was red and angry, and
overhead, making a ceiling in
the vast heavens, there was a
cloud of smoke all in pink. Up
in that pink shrouding there
were tiny, brilliant specks of
flashing light-antiaircraft
shells bursting. After the flash
you could hear the sound. |
