Remember that last night we danced together
In our Piccadilly rendezvous
Someday, sweetheart, we'll dance again together
And those little dreams we dreamt will all come true
For a while we must part
But remember me, sweetheart
Till the lights of London shine again
And while I'm over there
Think of me in every prayer
Till the lights of London shine again
I'll keep your picture near me
A tender souvenir
Now hold me close and kiss me
And may God bless you, dear
Don't you cry when I'm gone
Wear a smile and carry on
Till the lights of London shine again
I'll keep your picture near me
A tender souvenir
Now hold me close and kiss me
And may God bless you, dear
Don't you cry when I'm gone
Wear a smile and carry on
Till the lights of London shine again
