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 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 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
