Let's Keep It That Way 1945

We stood together
thro' stormy weather
and ev'ry heart was torn.
The guns were flashing!
The world was crashing!
But out of the darkness
a new world was born.

The city lights are shining
The children laugh and play
the country side is peaceful
let's keep it that way.
Inside a million windows
they've put a sign to say
a welcome home to someone,
Let's keep it that way.
No more must mothers sigh
or sweethearts walk alone,
Let's put their happiness
above the things we own.
Some gave so much remember
How can we best repay
Let's build the world they dreamed of
Let's keep it that way.

The city lights are shining
The children laugh and play
the country side is peaceful
let's keep it that way.
Inside a million windows
they've put a sign to say
a welcome home to someone,
Let's keep it that way.
No more must mothers sigh
or sweethearts walk alone,
Let's put their happiness
above the things we own.
Some gave so much remember
How can we best repay
Let's build the world they dreamed of
Let's keep it that way.
