Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
Put on a happy face and smile even though our goodbye brings sadness
When the clouds roll by, I'll come to you
When life's challenges pass, I'll be there for you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Everything will be more vibrant and beautiful when we are together
Down in lovers lane, my dearie
We'll be in a romantic place, hand in hand
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
We'll experience the joy of marriage
Every tear will be a memory
All of our past sorrows will be remembered as a thing of the past
So wait and pray each night for me
Have faith and think of me each night
Till we meet again
Until the next time we see each other

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 whispers goodbye.
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 a while:
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 lovers' lane, my dearie,
Wedding bells will sing so merrily
Every tear will be a memory,
So wait and pray each night for me
'Til we meet again.

That's one of the benefits of growing old - you can wake up with a song from 70 years ago playing in your memory!

I remember my Mom singing this while strumming on a "Hawaiian" guitar ... lovely ...

My dad taught me and my sister this song and I sang it to my children when they were babies, and I sing this lullaby to my grandbabies to sleep. Reminds me of my dad. He sang this song and would sing the sing "till we meet again" right after. I sing both songs as lullabies.

My grandfather was a musician and singer in a time this song was popular. He met a young woman (my grandmother) at a dance he was playing. That night he took his band and serenaded her with this song. He asked her to marry and she told him to go home and read Ruth in his bible. He found her answer there and they spent their honeymoon in Seven Springs North Carolina where her often played music. He taught me this song and I sing it often at my performances. It sitll brings a tear Ed Terry.
