"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.
