                C
Tom was born in 1942

With eyes of blue

                                                G
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast

    C
His heart stopped twice

But yet he survived As he took his first breathe

                    G
His mother took her last

        C
And his father knew that he wasn't to blame

                                                G
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that

       C
And he rarely spoke about her

              D
But when he did

                                G
He said your mother used to say this

[Hook]

         C
When the skies are looking bad my dear

And your heart has lost all its hope After dawn there will be sunshine And all the dust will go

G
Skies will clear my darling

I'll wake up with the one I love the most

                                   C    D
And in the morning, I'll make you up

              G
Some tea and toast...

[Verse 2]

           C
Well, they met through a friend

Who introduced them

                                                   G
And the first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?

      C
They moved with each other and when the music got slower

                           G
He said don't let go of my hand

             C
He said It's only polite if I ask you tonight

                                         G
Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?

              C
That night he told her of his birth

And said when it hurt

    D                                               G
He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast

      C
Well, two quick years they went by

                  D
They were side by side

    C                                       D
And without a plan, they conceived a little child

        C
He said woman, I love you and this you know

But I only have enough for our food and clothes

      Em
But I love you and this baby

Until the day that I die...

         C
She said we'll take care of this little life

And we'll fall in love with her baby blue eyes

    Em
And we'll be alright from some advice that I know

          C
She said I never got to meet her

            D                                      G
But if I did, I'm sure your mother would have said this...

[Hook]

         C
When the skies are looking bad my dear

And your heart has lost all its hope

      C
After dawn there will be sunshine

And all the dust will go

G
Skies will clear my darling

We'll show this baby all the love we know

                                    C   D
And in the morning, I'll make you up

                 G
Some tea and toast

[Verse 3]

         C
Well, he took those words

And he made them proud

          C
He worked day after day

And hour after hour

   Em
So they could buy a little house just on the outside of town

      C
Their little girl grew up and so did they

          C
They said that they loved each other every day

    Em
And forty years later, that brings us to now

               G
And as they're walking down the street

Her grip loosens on his hand

            C
He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground

             Em
He hears her breathing and that's the only sound

    C
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd

                                                  Em
Tears rolls off his face as he says "don't let go, now"

         C
And he's sitting by her bed in the hospital ward

          C                                     Em
And their daughter walks in with a family of her own

          C
She says "Dad, I don't know if she can hear you now

                                            G
but there's one thing mum would want you to know"

[Hook]

         C
When the skies are looking bad my dear

And your heart has lost all its hope

      C
After dawn there will be sunshine

And all the dust will go

G
Skies will clear my darling

Now it's time for you to let go

          C                          D
I'm gonna wake you up in the morning

                  G
With some tea and toast
