Intro verse:
Em7 A7 A7+5 DM7 Cdim
My love will leave you never,
Em7 A7 A7+5 D
So kiss me good-bye and smile;
D7 Bm7 C#7 F#m
"Til then" can't mean "forever,"
A E7 Em7 A7
But it certainly could mean "a while."
Melody:
A7+5 D Bm7 Em7 A7
Til then, my darling, please wait for me;
A7+5 D Bm7 Em7 A7
Til then, no matter when it will be.
Edim G6 Fdim D6 B7 Em Gm A9
One day we'll be together again — please wait til then
Edim D Bm7 Em7 A7
Our dreams will live though we are apart;
A7+5 D Bm7 Em7 F#7
Our love I know will keep in our hearts.
Edim G6 Gm Fdim D6 B7 Em7 A9 D C#7
Til then, please think of me lovingly, and wait for me.
Bridge:
(C#7) F#m C#7
Al- though there are oceans we must cross
F#m G#m7 C#7
And mountains that we must climb,
F#m C#7
I know every gain must have a loss,
F#m7 B7 Em7 A7
So pray that our loss is nothing but time.
Edim D Bm7 Em7 A7
Til then, we'll dream of what there will be;
A7+5 D Bm7 Em6 F#7
Til then, we'll call on each memory.
Edim G6 Fdim DM7 B7
Til then, when I will hold you again,
Cdim Em7 A9 D Bm7 Fdim A7
Please wait til then.
Coda:
Cdim Em7 G/B A7 A7+5 D Bm7 G Gm D
Please wait — til — then.
