Lyrics
Let’s say goodbye with a smile dear
Just for a while dear, we must part
Don’t let this parting upset you
I’ll not forget you, sweetheart
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
Till the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello to the folks that you know
Tell them you won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know that as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
Till the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello to the folks that you know
Tell them you won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know that as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
