We'll Be Together Again
Doris Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here in a moment of darkness
remember the sun has shone
Laugh, and the world will laugh with you
Cry, and you'll cry alone

No tears, no fears
Remember, there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again
Your kiss, your smile
are memories I'll treasure forever
so try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
times when I know you'll be sad
don't let temptation surround you
don't let the blues make you bad
Some day, some way
we both have a lifetime before us




for parting is not goodbye
We'll be together again

This is a marvellous song sung from the heart and withย soulful meaning. It's had a profound effect on me and listening to all these wonderful performances from all these great singers including, of course, Doris Day and Frank Sinatra and the rest has made me feel as if I ought to give my own contribution and try to give of my very best. I've committed myselfย now and so I'm going to give my own interpretation of this great ballad. It's the very least I can do to honour it.
