When the Lights Go On Again All Over the World

Vaughn Monroe and His Orchestra

Written by Eddie Seller, Sol Marcus, and Bennie Benjamin

Peaked at # 1 in 1943

Competing version by Lucky Millinder hit # 12

Title song from the 1944 film

And the boys are home again all over the world

And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above

A kiss won’t mean «goodbye» but «Hello to love»

When the lights go on again all over the world

And the ships will sail again all over the world

Then we’ll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing

When the lights go on again all over the world

When the lights go on again all over the world

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: This was a mid-WW2 song.

*Title* refers to the practice of having to black out possible bombing targets and to avoid back-lighting torpedo targets

for offshore U-

boats.
