Today let's talk about really old times. This is a beautiful song that was sung as a duet by Bing Crosby and Patti Page. The music was written by Richard A. Whiting with lyrics by Raymond B. Egan way back in 1918. It was written during the Great War and is a song that tells the story of a soldier parting from his sweetheart. The title of this song actually comes from the final line of the 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 in Lover's Lane, my dearie.
Wedding bells will ring so merrily.
Every tear will be a memory.
So wait and pray each night for me,
Till we meet again
In 1919 the song was at number one when recorded by Henry Burr and Albert Campbell. Many other artists have recorded it, among them Doris Day. Supporters of the English football team Huddersfield Town adapted the song and tune in the 1920s, and they still sing it.
My favorite version is the one sung by Bing Crosby and Patti Page.

@Marilynda1225 Once I knew what I liked in music, I gave myself a real musical education and, of course, love the Old Hollywood musicals; now it is easy to find everything on YouTube.

I love the music from back then. My dad was in the war. He didn't meet my mom until after he came back, but it must have been utter hell to part like that.

@RasmaSandra If you haven't heard it, listen to "A Garden in the Rain" by Perry Como. It's a happy song! He has such a beautiful voice.

@RasmaSandra Oh yes. Half of them are nice; and half of them are violent. I try to hurt him as much as I can. Maybe I'm punishing him for what he did.

@DianneN they just don't write them like this any more and don't sing them like this either, I wonder if there is another Bing Crosby somewhere out there in the world,
