Lyrics[]
Lets say goodbye with a smile dear,
Just for a while dear,
We must part.
Don't let this parting upset you,
I'll not forget you,
Sweetheart.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when,
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 Ii will just say "Hello",
To the folks that you know,
Tell them you won't be long.
They'll be happy to know,
That as I saw you go,
You were singing this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
And i will just say "Hello",
To the folks that you know,
Tell them you won't be long.
They'll be happy to know,
That as I saw you go,
You were singing this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when,
Oh I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
