Here are all the words. I sing it in a medley with Lili Marlene, representing the most popular songs from WWI and WWII.TILL WE MEET AGAIN
as sung by Charles Hart & Louis James
Words by Raymond B. Egan, music by Richard Whiting, 1918There's a song in the land of the lily,
Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh.
Over high garden walls this sweet echo falls,
And a fond lover* whispers good-bye.
CHORUS
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.Tho' good-bye means the birth of a teardrop,
Hello means the birth of a smile,
And the smile will erase the tear-blighting trace,
When we meet in the after a while.
CHORUS
[* The sheet music has "soldier boy" instead of "fond lover."]
