We'll meet again
The Black Cat Bone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some places come and go
Sometimes its warm and then its cold
But you my friend are always there
In my mind, everywhere.

I turn around and hope to see
Your presence shining here with me
Cause when I think about those times we shared
The light has shined and I’m not scared

Someone must part sometime, somewhere
But when they leave they still seem there
And the one who left will bring along
A little part of this, my song.

And it’s alright cause times do change
But in my mind it’s still the same
So listen well, my friend, you see,
We’ll meet again both you and me.

Some places come and go
Sometimes its warm and then its cold
But listen well, my friend, you see,
We’ll meet again both you and me.

When I look back and think of you
And all the things we once went through
What the wind will blow will come our way
And then we’re sure we're here to stay

And when the road gets longer you will see
That we’ll be closer, you and me




Some things were meant to stay the same
I know some day we’ll meet again.
