When they meet again They will walk and laugh and never leave Her home warm like a summer night ‘Cause she will have her love to hold her hand And she is looking through the glass Images of when she was young No one to hold her hand or put arms around But she will wait there for her love to come ‘Til they meet again ‘Til they meet again
