"Till We Meet Again" is a popular song. The music was written by Richard A. Whiting, the lyrics by Raymond B. Egan. Written during the Great War, the song tells of the parting of a soldier and his sweetheart. The title comes from the final line of the chorus:

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

In 1919, it was the number 1 song of the year as recorded by Henry Burr and Albert Campbell.
