VERSE 1The fairest sky or the brightest eyeMay cloud with the word “au revoir”A tear may seek out the fairest cheekTo stain when a friendship is o’erEach night brings someone a goodbye kissEach night some sweetheart is wond’ring this CHORUSWhen shall we meet againAfter this “Au revoir” dearWill you still love me thenOr will our dream be o’er dearWill you cast the new love aside for meOr just smile to think you once sigh’d for meAll will be answer’d whenWe two shall meet again gain VERSE 2And who knows why lips that love must sighThe heart aching word of “farewell”In ev’ry breast this unbidden guestThe grief of a parting may dwellWho knows the where for the why or whenWho knows if ever we’ll meet again CHORU
