But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through just like you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
And won't you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
