There's a song in the land of the lily
Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh
Over high garden walls this sweet echo falls
As a soldier boy whispers goodbye
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 Lover's 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
Though goodbye 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 awhile
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 Lover's 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

I remember my father by the songs he used to sing and the nursery rhymes he used to quote. Every evening when he came home from work, he took the coins of his pocket, placed them in a dish on the bookcase and announced, "Yes sir. Yes sir. Three bags full." Till We Meet Again was one of his trademark songs, so hearing it makes me happy and sad at the same time. He passed away in the late 90s.

My dad would sing this song out loud when I was a kid. He passed away in 2018 . He could only sing the chorus as he didn't speak English. He said the British soldiers would sing the song and he just know it. R.I.P dad.

😿 Such a gentle waltz, sung so beautifully! The harmonies were ethereal! I was reduced to tears knowing how much those people suffered because of the war. So many young men never came back, with such sadness in their families.

How many of you fellows are listening to this fine tune in 2018?
