| Lyrics: | There's a song in the land of the lily,
Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh,
Over high
garden walls, this sweet echo falls,
As a soldier whispers goodbye.
Though goodbye
means the birth of a teardrop,
Hello means the birth of a smile.
And the smile will erase
the tear blighting trace,
When we meet in the after a while:
Chorus:
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 lovers' lane, my dearie,
Wedding bells will sing so merrily
Every tear will be
a memory,
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again. |
