â??Someday weâ??ll meet again my love, Someday whenever the spring breaks through, Youâ??ll come to me out of the long ago warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow, till then my sweet, think of me now and then, Godspeed my love till you are mine again, Love of my own think of me now and then, Godspeed my love till you are mine again.â?
