7 -8 8 -8 7
There's a song in the
-8 7 -7 7 -6
land of the lilly.
6 7 -7 7
Each sweetheart has
-8 8 -9 8
heard with a sigh.
8 -8 8 -7 -6 -7
Over high garden walls,
7 -8 7 -7 7
the sweet echo falls,
-7 7 -8 -7 -6 -6 -7 7 -8
As a soldier boy whispers goodbye.
8 7 6 8 -8 7 -8 7 -7
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu,
-8 -7 6 -9 8 -8 8 -8 7
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you.
-6 7 -9 -9 8 -8 7
Then the skies will seem more blue
8 7 -9 -7 7 -8 -8
Down in lovers' lane my dearie.
8 7 6 8 -8 7 -8 7 -7
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
-8-7 6 -9 8 -8 8 -8 7
Every tear will be a memory.
7 7 -7 -6 7 6 7 8
So wait and pray each night for me
-8 -6 7 -7 7
Til we meet again.
