Till We Meet Again

Song: Raymond B. Egan, Richard A. Whiting.

There’s a song in the land of the lily,
Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh;
Over high garden walls this sweet echo falls,
As a soldier boy whispers good-bye.

Tho’ good-bye means the birth of a tear drop,
Hello means the birth of a smile.
And the smile will erase the tear blighting trace,
When we meet in the after-a-while.

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu,
When the clouds roll by I’ll come to you:
Then the skies will seem more blue,
Down in lovers lane my dearie;

Wedding bells will ring so merrily,
Ev’ry tear will be a memory.
So wait and pray each night for me,
Till we meet again.
