LATER ON
Hartley / Parker
as rec by Vera Lynn w Arthur Young (Novachord)
1939
Later on, when troubles are ended,
Later on there'll come a day
When we'll meet, you and I,
In some sweet by and by,
Loving the old fashioned way.
Smile awhile, and later on
When heartaches are mended,
We'll be one and never part.
We'll just love, laugh and live
In the joy that peace can give;
Here's to later on, sweetheart!
This moment finds us numb
With the pain of parting,
Now the time has come
For a farewell kiss.
But pareadise lost will be paradise regained
If darling, you remember this;
When troubles are ended,
There'll come a day!
Later on
When heartaches are mended,
We'll be one and never part.
We'll just love, laugh and live
In the joy that peace can give;
Here's to later on, sweetheart!
