Yours
Vera Lynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yours 'til the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of our life's story
This pledge to you dear, I bring
Yours in the grey of December
Here or on far distant shores
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
Just yours
This night has music, the sweetest music
It echoes somewhere within my heart
I hold you near me, oh darling hear me
I have a message I must impart
Yours 'til the stars lose their glory
Yours 'til the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of life's story
This pledge to you dear, I bring
Yours in the grey of December
Here or on far distant shores
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I, when I was born to be
Just yours
Just yours
When I was born to be just yours

In September of 1942, my 20 year old uncle, Donald Plaunt, who would become the pilot of a Lancaster bomber, wrote his younger sister Jean about one of his crew: "Right now my tail gunner is batting away at the piano and every now and again is playing “Yours”, which just about makes me weep. Yes in spite of its antiquity it is still my favourite piece. One just doesn't hear any better over here." He was killed on March 12, 1943 on his 11th mission.
