Suitable for D-Day weekend, and a sentimental old man like me, this 1938 song was very popular during WW2, for obvious reasons. There have been numerous versions over the decades, and it was also used by the flamboyant entertainer, Liberace, as his personal theme song. Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, and Frank Sinatra all recorded versions that were incredibly popular in America, and Vera Lynn’s very English version was loved by Britons.

So as I am English, and I think the song better suits a female vocal, here is Vera. Schmaltzy and emotional, but I don’t care!
