SOMEDAY WE'LL MEET AGAIN


(Al Goodhart / Al Hoffman / Milton Ager (m & l) )


As sung by Bing Crosby < Sweet Georgia Brown  (1932-1933) > 

Album released May 2012


The parting hour is here

And I must leave you dear

My heart for evermore

Will hold a song.


So hold me close to you

And kiss me fond adieu

We'll just say au revoir

But not goodbye.


Some day I know we'll meet again

We'll meet again, my darling

Though I don't know just where or when

We'll meet again, my darling.


I leave my heart to remind you

Though now we part

Some day my love will find you.


Some day when Spring is sweet again

We'll meet again, sweetheart.


(bridge)


I leave my heart to remind you

Though now we part

Some day my love will find you.


Some day when Spring is sweet again

We'll meet again, sweetheart.


Notes:


The two composers (Goodhart, an American and Hoffman, a Russian born

American) wrote music together for stage and film. Hoffman's popular

works were recorded by some of the big names of the day, Sinatra,

Eckstine, Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Kitt, Patsy Cline et

al.


Milton Ager, as one of the co-composers here, was Chicago USA born and

was involved in a number of Broadway musicals. He wrote many songs, his

first and biggest hit being  I'M NOBODY'S BABY.  Other works

were  AIN'T SHE SWEET? and  HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN.


Bing Crosby, perhaps unbeknownst to some, wrote or co-wrote 17 songs.

Many feel that the most notable of his creations was 

 (I DON'T STAND) A GHOST OF A CHANCE WITH YOU

His contributions to music, film and stage were immeasurable by any

standard.
