An EDM interpretation of the 1917 song "Au revoir, but not goodbye: soldier boy" by Lew Brown.

TIme period: The Great War/ WW1
Original lyrics:

So you're leaving me today, Soldier boy
And you're going far away, Soldier boy

There's a teardrop in your eye,
For its hard to say "Goodbye"
But you're out to do or die, Soldier boy

All the things we planned to do,
I am sure will all come true,
And I'll watch and wait for you, Soldier boy

Au revoir but not "Goodbye," Soldier boy
Brush that tear drop from your eyes, Soldier boy
When you're on the deep blue sea,
Will you sometimes think of me?

I'll be waiting anxiously, Soldier boy
Tho' we're many miles apart, Soldier boy
Keep my picture near your heart, Soldier boy

When you've won your victory,
God will bring you back to me
Au revoir but not "Goodbye," Soldier boy

I am proud to see you go, Soldier boy
And it makes me love you so, Soldier boy

There's your mother old and gray,
I will cheer her up each day,
And will always hope and pray, Soldier boy

When your fighting days are through,
For the old Red White and Blue,
We'll be here to welcome you, Soldier boy
