My mum died yesterday. She met dad in the war and their song had the lines Goodnight sweetheart wherever you are...
We've tried to track this down many times over the years with no luck. (Not goodnight sweetheart see you in the morning) I would so love to find it for her funeral. Thanks.

Bluebelle that vicar was so wrong to refuse you your choice. I've been to a few funerals where family have chosen popular songs.

My condolences chelseababy?

The song you're looking for is 'Goodnnight Wherever You Are, by Vera Lynn.

Goodnight wherever you are
May your dreams be pleasant dreams wherever you are
If only one little wish that I wish comes true
I know that the angels will watch over you

Goodnight wherever you are
I'll be with you dear no matter how near or far
With all my heart I pray everything is all right
Wherever you are goodnight

It takes time to get used to the idea that your Mum isn't there any more.
A lovely song to remind you of her.
