SONGS
TILL WE MEET AGAIN
There's a song in the land of the lily
Each sweet-heart has heard with a sigh
O-ver high garden walls
This sweet e-cho falls
As a sol-dier boy whispers good-bye
CHORUS
Smile the while you kiss me a sad a-dieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in lov-ers lane my dearie
Wed-ding bells will ring so merrily
Ev-ery tear will be a mem-o-ry
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet a-gain
TELL ME
I've some ques-tions dear, You can make them clear,
For your ans-wer I am yearning Like a school-boy seek-ing learning;
Al-tho' I've searched in vain With my might and main,
All the know-ledge learned at col-lege, Still that don't ex-plain.
CHORUS
Tell me why nights are lone-some, Tell me why days are blue,
Tell me why all the sun-shine Comes just at one time, when I'm with you;
Why do I hate to go dear, And hate to say good-bye?
Now some-how it's al-ways so, dear,
And if you know, know, dear, please tell me why.
MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the darkies are gay;
The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day,
The young folks roll on the lit-tle cab-in floor,
All mer-ry, all hap-py and bright;
By' m-by hard times comes a-knocking at the door,
Then my old Ken-tucky home, good-night!
CHORUS
Weep no more, my la-dy, O weep no more to-day!
We will sing one song for the old Ken-tuck-y home,
For the old Ken-tuck-y home, far a-way.
SMILES
Dear-ie, now I know Just what makes me love you so.
Just what holds me and en-folds me In its gol-den glow;
Dear-ie, now I see 'Tis each smile so bright and free,
For life's sad-ness turns to glad-ness When you smile on me.
REFRAIN
There are smiles that make us hap-py, There are smiles that make us
blue,
There are smiles that steal a-way the tear-drops
As the sun-beams steal a-way the dew,
There are smiles that have a ten-der meaning
That the eyes of love a-lone may see'
And the smiles that fill my life with sun-shine
Are the smiles, that you give to me.
