Till We Meet Again
Ken Griffin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 deary

Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Every tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again

So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again

Till we meet again




Down in lover's lane
Wait and pray each night for me

Overall Meaning

The opening line "Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu" sets the tone for the entire song. The singer is saying goodbye to someone they love, but they want them to smile through the pain of saying goodbye in the hopes that they will see each other again. The next line "When the clouds roll by, I'll come to you" suggests that the singer may be leaving because of something temporary. They promise to return once the storms in their life have passed. The following line "Then the skies will seem more blue" reinforces this idea, implying that the singer's return will bring happiness and good times.


The chorus starts with "Wedding bells will ring so merrily," which suggests that the separation between the two lovers is due to something like work or travel rather than a permanent split, as they are still holding on to the hope of a future together. The next line "Every tear will be a memory" suggests that once the two are reunited, any sadness or heartbreak they may have experienced in the past will be forgotten as they move forward. The chorus ends with the same repetition of the line "So wait and pray each night for me/Till we meet again" as the opening verse, reinforcing the idea that the two will be reunited and encouraging the person left behind to keep the faith.


In summary, the song is about two lovers who are saying goodbye, but they're holding on to the hope of a future together. The singer promises to return and urges their lover to smile through the pain and wait for them.
