Lyrics
Smile as You Kiss Me Goodbye Verse: Soon you will be over the sea, Somewhere in France, dear, fighting for me. Seeing you start, near breaks my heart, But in dreams I’ll be with you tho’ we’re miles apart. Refrain: For what is an ocean between hearts in love? We’ll meet each twilight in dreamland above, So dry ev’ry teardrop, forget ev’ry sigh, And smile as you kiss me goodbye. Verse: While over there your heart with share, My ev’ry dream, and my ev’ry prayer, You will not be, love oe’r the sea, For my prayer soon will bring you back safely to me. Refrain
