    Default SOLVED: 1950-1960 Song

    1940-1950-1960 Song
    I'm pretty sure it was sung by a famous woman singer.
    I thought it was Doris Day, but I can't find anything.

    The only thing I remember is:
    "...but until then...
    Tell all my friends..."

    It's a melancholy song about temporarily leaving a friends company, a "see you later until we meet again" song. For some reason the words, "sunshine and blue" come to mind when thinking of this song.

    It's annoying - I used to know the entire song!

    "Put On A Happy Face" was sung by a lot of people, I'm sure Doris Day was one of them
    or
    try
    Until Then - a gospel song

    Thanks Troutfish but sadly neither one is the song.

    Ugh, I'm still trying to figure it out and now I can't get "Happy Trails" by Dale Evans out of my head!

    Another bit: the first line of the song or the chorus are just a couple of words.

    Monkey's Uncle!

    A couple more words of the song that just popped into my head:

    "One fine day" or "One beautiful day"

    "tell all my friends I won't be long..."





    I keep seeing a picture of a sunset.
    Or is it a sunrise?
