We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sun - ny day
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
Till the blue skies chase the dark clouds far a - way
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 when you saw me go
I was sing - ing this song
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sun - ny day
