Lyrics
  • Till We Meet Again Verse: There’s a song in the land of the lily Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh
  • 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. Verse: Tho’ goodbye 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. Refrain
  • Over high garden walls this sweet echo falls As a soldier boy whispers goodbye. Refrain: 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
