We'll Meet Again 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
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
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 chase
Those dark clouds far away
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
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
Just for a while, dear, we must part
Don't let this parting upset you
I'll not forget you, sweetheart
You'll see the rain go, never fear
We two can wait for tomorrow
Goodbye to sorrow my dear
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies chase
Those dark clouds far away
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
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
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
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day

[From Wikipedia] "We'll Meet Again" is a 1939 song made famous by British singer Vera Lynn with music written by Ross Parker and words by Hughie Charles.
The song is one of the most famous songs of the Second World War era, and resonated with soldiers going off to fight and their families and sweethearts. The assertion that "we'll meet again" is optimistic, as many soldiers of course did not survive to see their loved ones again. Indeed, the meeting place at some unspecified time in the future would have seen by many who lost loved ones to be heaven.
The song gave its name to the 1943 musical film We'll Meet Again in which Vera Lynn played the lead role. The song is also featured in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb using a version sung by Dame Vera.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters makes reference to this song and the performer in "Vera," a song from the Pink Floyd album The Wall: "Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?/Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?"
