WE’LL MEET AGAIN

Popularised by Vera Lynn in broadcasts and concerts for service personnel, this song is evocative of World War 2. Read the words carefully and notice the symbolism contained within the references to clouds and sunny days.

The impact of music on morale had a great effect. The song became synonymous with Vera Lynn and contributed to her role as ‘The Sweetheart of the Forces’?

WE’LL MEET AGAIN

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 drive the dark clouds far away.

So will you please say hello
To the folks that I know,
Tell them I won’t be long.
They’ll be happy to know
That as you saw me go,
I was 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.

We’ll Meet Again Music BY PARKER & CHARLES
