Lyrics
- Let’s 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
Refrain:
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
So will 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
I was 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
- After the rain comes the rainbow
You’ll see the rain go, never fear
We two can wait for tomorrow
Goodbye to sorrow, my dear
