Moody Blues, The - The Day We Meet Again Lyrics






The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there
I'll be waiting there for you
Cos the years have been so lonely
Like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own

The day we meet again
We will walk in peace
Thru the garden down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting
See it rising in the air
Like the shadow I was chasing
When I looked it wasn't there
Oh no

But just in case you're wondering
What was really on my mind
It wasn't what you took my love
It's what you left behind

And just in case you're wondering
Will it really be the same
You know we're only living for
The day me meet again

So hold on - and don't let go
Time heals - you know - I know

The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there
I'll be waiting there for you
Cos the years have been so lonely
Like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own

The day we meet again
We will walk in peace
Thru the garden down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting
See it rising in the air
Like the shadow I was chasing
When I looked it wasn't there
Hold on baby don't let go

Moody Blues, The The Day We Meet Again Comments
  1. M.... B....

    I never get tired of playing the Moody`s even in 2020

  2. D.... S....

    One of their lesser known gems. A song of hope and longing. This dog has found his bone. Hold on, don't let go, time will heal.

  3. C.... A....

    Powerfully & beautifully spiritual.
    This is probably what heaven must feel like.

  4. L.... ....

    This and "Watching and Waiting" to me are incredibly inspirational spiritual songs.
    Always moved by both of them.

  5. J.... C....

    Some kind of kinship to these men , a kinship of sound must be known for us to feel the stories they bring . It's been decades since I first heard them . Amazed and captured was I . I didn't even know what kind of music it was . That didn't matter . All I knew was that is when I awakened to appreciate music . They were my single favorite band for many years . There are now other bands that I enjoy equally , though only a few . Still some of the Moody Blues songs hit me like nothing else can . A few of their songs I don't listen to near as much anymore . Some because they are so often heard . Some because I hear a message that isn't quite how I believe . I know some of you must feel as if that's on the bounds of some sort of blasphemy . I must be honest . Still , I love them all , the newcomers just as much . They care for us as we care for them . Much gratitude for the lives of The Moody Blues .

  6. t.... k....

    My favorite song from the Moodies. Thank you Jill. The fan known as "Mushertom".

  7. B.... S....

    Who are soulless creatures who thumbs down this song,I feel sorry for them!????😿😿😿😿

  8. P.... P....

    This is by far my favorite song i love it...its magical and makes me look forward to the future of life that is waiting for me...

  9. N.... F....

    we lost our youngest sibling Michael to stage 4 lymphoma cancer..his fragile immune couldnt handle the chemo..he was such a happy person! always putting others first! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MICHAE!!! MAY GOD AND OUR MOTHER MARY BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

  10. W.... R....

    A classic song, one that holds a serious memory for me. Per this video itself: too many cuts and crossfades distract the viewer. Seems to be a common trait of novice music video makers Try to not follow the lyrics so closely with a different image vebatim to each lyric's line. You can build the story with less imagery and slower crossfades especially for such an emotional song as this

  11. 1.... ....

    One thing ive noticed about the moody blues over the years.
    Big time fans of the moody blues all share and are united into a very simular personification. I never met someone who loved the moody blues i didnt feel spiritualy connected to. At MB concerts you could feel it. We are all silent hidden melancholy secret (KNIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN ) Sitting at some other dimension at a (ROUND TABLE)near a surf ladden seagull infested castle called ...... CAMELOT
    ITS SOOO MUCH BETTER THERE

  12. N.... A....

    i cry when I hear this song...but it is good crying...purging the badness of the world

  13. m.... ....

    Another masterpiece compliments of Moody Jill and Moody Blues.

  14. M.... J....

    How I wish the clock could be turned back.Loraine ,I can never thank you enough for all the love and the good times.Only God knows why it was time for you leave me.I was with you in Cornwall on the 23/9/2014 The memories of our happy years came flooding back.Sleep well my Love.Until the day we meet again. Words,thoughts, feelings and emotions are all I have left now.See you soon,

  15. m.... c....

    Peaceful words and music. Thanks for a reason to sing along to a great group oF singer's and Rock and Rollers! Far out guy's! far OUT!

  16. S.... K....

    Love this song and the lyric are ment for me

  17. T.... C....

    No one before the Moody's, or since, has ever had such a distinct sound that you could tell, instantly, that that was the Moody Blues, just in the first few notes. Just a piece of any one of their melodies and you know it's them. Classic and fresh, all at the same time.

  18. D.... T....

    Moved to tears by this one, and not for the first time. Their music is sublime and every time I listen to a song and think "oh yes, this is my favourite" I listen to the next and the next and it becomes impossible to favour one over another. This is a wonderful song and the photos you put together to go with it are so beautiful and so right. Thank you.

  19. a.... h....

    Moody jill...podriaas subir esta cancion..para karaoke??? te agradeceriamos todos los que amamos la musica de los Moody blues... gracias...

    a.... h....

    I used google translate to read what you're asking, but I have no idea how to do what you're asking. I think if you just do a search on YouTube, there are TONS of karaoke versions of all of the Moody Blues songs. That's the best suggestion I can offer you. Okay--see if this link works for what you're looking for: https://www.karaoketexty.cz/texty-pisni/moody-blues-the/the-day-we-meet-again-202444

  20. J.... C....

    There will never be a band like them I've been to many concerts but they were the best and I've seen pink Floyd and Elton John they still were the best I have all their music even have the blue jays

  21. T.... B....

    I've lost so many people that i wouldn't know to whom i would dedicate this, but I know the Moody Blues put it into words that i would want to put it into. Maybe this song can go out to all of them.

  22. j.... ....

    Still love this. Thank You.

    Hi Jill, this is tmk7643 aka mushertom from MBA and MBT... one of my favorite Moodies songs. Actually heard it live in (I think) 2012 at Ives Concert Park in Danbury CT. It opened the show as I recall. Thanks for posting. Tom

  25. p.... t....

    Pure genius as usual by an outstanding band always ahead of their times

  26. M.... J....

    hi moody jill , i'm moony blues

  27. M.... T....

    When my sweetest and older sister Anne passed away in 2005 at the tender age of 56, I sobbed every day for the first month.  This beautiful song and Justin Hayward's tender voice gave me great comfort then and does even now.  Anne would have been 70 years old this April 10th.  I will be 69 in November if I make it that long.  I will never be completely happy again until I am again embracing my dear sister.  The next voice she shall hear will be the sweet voice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, saying, "Rise, my daughter."

  28. A.... E....

    Uno mis grupos más preferido no me canso de escucharlo desde los 70 as hasta estás fechas Moody's blues

  29. i.... l....

    I dedicate this to my dear departed sister, I know we will meet again Elaine sleep well my sister xx

  30. �.... �....

    The Great Song.

  31. J.... R....

    I do like the instrumental build-up on this song. Start with Justin and Mike and build from there.

  32. M.... C....

    This song helps me to cope with the loss of my love, Martin, 4 years ago. I know we will meet again. He'll be waiting there for me. Love and miss you sooo very much.

    M.... C....

    HE IS WITH YOU....ALWAYS...😇😇😇💖💖💖💫💫💫💫💫🌟🌟🌷

    The day we meet again
    I'll be waiting there
    I'll be waiting there for you
    Cos the years have been so lonely
    Like a dog without a home
    It's dangerous when you find out
    You've been drinking on your own

    The day we meet again
    We will walk in peace
    Thru the garden down the road
    Where the mist of time is lifting
    See it rising in the air
    Like the shadow I was chasing
    When I looked it wasn't there
    Oh no

    But just in case you're wondering
    What was really on my mind
    It wasn't what you took my love
    It's what you left behind

    And just in case you're wondering
    Will it really be the same
    Will it really be the same
    You know we're only living for
    The day me meet again

    So hold on - and don't let go
    Time heals - you know - I know

    The day we meet again
    I'll be waiting there
    I'll be waiting there for you
    Cos the years have been so lonely
    Like a dog without a home
    It's dangerous when you find out
    You've been drinking on your own

    The day we meet again
    We will walk in peace
    Thru the garden down the road
    Where the mist of time is lifting
    See it rising in the air
    Like the shadow I was chasing
    When I looked-oh no- it wasn't there
    Oh no-it wasn't there
    Hold on baby don't let go

  54. S.... Y....

    I miss you, Mum XXXXXXXXXXXXX

  55. C.... v....

    C.... v....

    @Sharon Allison sharon iam a musician and i play alot of the moody blues. I also fly powered hang gliders. When iam up in the air i listen to the moody blues i can tell you its just encredable feeling of solutudal utopia.
    My best friend played with the moody blues live at red rocks i was sooooo jealous. The music today i cant stand so i just live happily in the past. Nothing better

    C.... v....

    @123bigfoot1 I KNOW THE FEELING WELL MY DARLING.....🌈🕊️🙏😇🌹💞👽🛸💞💞💞💞💞💞🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

    Canada vs The Liberals you now have heard the BEST group ever ! They started back in 67 with Days of Futures Past and are the MOST underrated group in history !

  56. J.... C....

    Nicely done. Thank you.

  57. 8.... ....

    the best tune by the band.....

  58. L.... J....

    Är inte livet underligt lelle from sweden

  59. F.... ....

    WOW! I haven't heard this in years. I forgot how good it is! The Moodys just nail you with this one! What tallent!!!

  60. T.... B....

    I don't wish to negate the value of this song to fans who are inspired to think of the death of loved ones and the afterlife. But I prefer not to go to quite so extreme of a loss. I still think of it as just a love song for people who broke up but will be reunited again, celebrating a bond that never really went away IN THIS LIFE. It's not so morbid. And it's not so depressing because it doesn't delay the pay-off and happy ending until some other life.

  61. J.... C....

    With the songs I am knewing rhese laltelly days I am loving Moody Blues Much More More Moe. I found Want to be with you like 5 days ago. Then itoday I found Deep and just now this jewel. Thank you for posting all this Masters!!!!

  64. P.... E....

    beautiful video Jill.

  65. B.... D....

    In one word to describe The Moody Blues is " PURE!" Their music actually allows you to enter any song they do. You become part of the dream they present. I've lived the lyrics and music. No band has ever allowed me to do this.

  66. a.... h....

    twenty years ago today you went away home Terri..missing you till the day we meet again

  67. g.... ....

    This IS an AWESOME video!!!!! THANKS!!!!

  70. H.... B....

    If interested you can find the lyrics at http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/103146/. I couldn't find a version with lyrics here.

    HOF bound

  74. S.... K....

    The world is better with Moody blues

  75. K.... C....

    So glad they finally in the Hall of Fame...should have been much sooner...

  76. P.... J....

    Add this song to requests of songs that Justin and the boys should consider playing during their concerts

  77. B.... N....

    Funny, on the day we meet again it's never what we expect. In the minds' eye it's based on the memories of what was. You get locked into that expectation and the reality of the encounter may be far different from what you've envisioned. Life experience and time changes everyone. The old friend or childhood sweetheart is not the person you remember and to them neither are you. It may be that you've become two strangers whose paths once crossed.

  78. s.... r....

    Thank you for updating these wonderful videos

  79. T.... P....

    I just lost a good friend of mine, only 29. I dedicate this song to her, I'm going to miss you Hilary.

  80. f.... ....

    This Moody Blues song is one of my favorites from them for years now. I lost my dear older mom in death last December, and my older dad died 7 months after mom this last July - I do hope there is a hereafter where I'll meet them again. But even now I feel their presence in my life still, especially when listening to songs like this one. I hope the Moody Blues finally get put in the rock n roll hall of fame this spring of 2018. They deserve it more than anybody at this point in their careers. Great music written - needs to be acknowledged. Cheers and a clink of my glass to the Moodies. Sincerely, Paul Edwards

    Thumbs up for this very spiritual tune from a life-long non-religious Moodies fan!

  83. T.... M....

    Yes it would Greg, the world would be a better place.

  84. b.... f....

    To Jason and Jamie. Some day soon we will be together on another Tuesday afternoon, running and playing and laughing out loud. No more pain, no more hospitals. Love Pop's

  85. J.... V....

    Jill, you always NAIL these! This is soon to be a sweet time. Rock'n'Roll Hall, here come the Moodies!!

  86. B.... ....

    ...through the garden...

  87. P.... ....

    Blessed to have met John Lodge and Norda Mullen at John’s 10,000 light year concert. I also got to speak at length with Gordy Marshall who played drums with the Moodies for 25 years. His favourite venues are the Royal Albert Hall and the O2 arena in London followed closely the Hollywood Bowl in California.

  88. C.... A....

    Music like this is needed so bad nowadays.

  89. P.... P....

    I definitely agree the world would be a better place to live that is why my kids listen to the moody blues. They love them too..

  90. j.... p....

    I remember how caring they were not just  the words  and sentiments running through their songs .My wife and I went to their voices in the sky tour concert in Newcastle upon Tyne 1984 .We sat at the back and two members of staff stood talking , I complained and asked them to shut up as we couldn't hear the concert  , at the time I was overheard by someone who I thought was management .I was asked my address thinking I would get a letter of apology .You can imagine my surprise when the following day  someone to do with the group arrived with an a signed Voices in the sky LP saying they had heard my complaint and hoped this would make up for it I was totally stunned and  all I could manage was mumble thank you thank you I wasn't expecting anything like this I just stood staring at it as he left .

  91. O.... B....

    Très beau morceau musical comme la plus part des compositions qui font de ce groupe un des meilleurs de la musique de rock progressif, et qui mérite d'être plus écouté.

  92. B.... A....

    I had lost my mother in March '77 at age 16 less than 2 years after my father died. And then Justin Hayward wrote this song and I bought the album in June '78. I can never thank him enough.

    B.... A....

    Bill u have some heart my
    Daughter died 6yrs ago aged 42 yr half later my son aged 34 people think I should go on. As if nothing happened

    B.... A....

    This song causes me to think of loved ones gone . There is one in particular ; Lucero . My youngest stepdaughter was kidnapped , tortured and murdered by the Linea Nueva cartel in El Porvenir , Chihuahua Mexico . 2014. All because someone who was being tortured listed her and 40 other people as having knowledge they wanted . She did not know . They cut the coward once in the side . He gave in and he was freed ; a warning to anyone who didn't bow down . They let a woman go , I don't know why . The rest they murdered . Enough of that . Forgive me if I saddened you .

  93. S.... G....

    This album is way underrated.

  94. G.... I....

    A wonderful piece! Thanks Moody Blues!

  95. b.... f....

    There will  be no chronic pain tonight after listening to this beautiful song!

    b.... f....

    I hope you’re resting easy. Whether you are or not at least you, I and everyone have this beautiful music for comfort.

  96. B.... S....

    Yes, great song then, and now!

  97. T.... C....

    all i ever listen to more relavent today their music

  98. r.... m....

    i totaly agree

  99. x.... ....

    You know we're only living for
    The day me meet again
