Lyrics | When We Meet in the Sweet Bye and Bye Verse: He was true, so would you be too, if you loved a girl like Sally, She was sad, when her soldier lad, left her all alone in the valley, Till her sweetheart wrote her I’ll be coming home someday, Be cheery till the war clouds roll away. Refrain: In the sweet bye and bye, when the skies are clear and blue, We shall meet, you and I, and I’ll tell you of the battles I’ve been through, And then we’ll dream, down by the stream, beneath the silv’ry moon up in the summer sky, So save your kisses, and so will I, till we meet in the sweet bye and bye. Verse: Colonel said in the fight you led, you’re a credit to your nation, Make your bow, you’re a sargeant [sic] now, and you’ve earn’d a long vacation. Soon another letter that came home to her in June, Said our sweet bye and bye is coming soon. Refrain |
