Love’s Old Sweet Song

[Verse 1]
Once in the dear dead days beyond recall
When on the world the mist began to fall
Out of a dream that rose in happy throng
Lo to our hearts love sang an old sweet song
And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam
Softly it wove itself into our dream

[Chorus]
Just a song at twilight
When the lights are low
And the flickering shadows
Softly come and go
Though the heart be weary
Sad the day and long
Still to us at twilight
Comes love's old song
Comes love's old sweet song

[Verse 2]
Even today we hear love's song of yore
Deep in our hearts it dwells forever more
Footsteps may falter, weary grow the ways
Still you can hear it at the close of day
So till the end when life's dim shadows fall
Love will remain the sweetest song of all

[Chorus]
Just a song at twilight
When the lights are low
And the flickering shadows
Softly come and go
Though the heart be weary
Sad the day and long
Still to us at twilight
Comes love's old song
Comes love's old sweet song
