Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you.
Then the skies will seem more blue,
Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie.
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Ev'ry tear will be a memory.
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again.

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you.
Then the skies will seem more blue,
Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie.
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Ev'ry tear will be a memory.
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again.

Till We Meet Again 1918 Doris Day
Lyrics by Raymond B.Egan
Music by Richard A.Whiting
© 1918 by Remick & Co.

American composer Richard Whiting anbd lyricist Raymond Egan
thought so little of this song's commercial chances that they
threw the manuscript into a wate paper basket. Mrs. Whiting
had other ideas. She fished it out and unknown to her husband
took it to publisher Joseph Remick. Her faith in the song was soon
confirmed. Even before the sheet music was off the presses
Remick got the first inkling of the song's future success when it
won a 1918 war-song contest sponsored by a Detroit cinema.
In 1951 it was sung by Doris Day in the film "On Moonlight Bay"
