Just a Song at Twilight
G. Clifton Bingham, James Lynam Molloy
Once in the dear dead days beyond recall
When on the world
The mist began to fall
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Low in our heart
Love sang an old sweet song
And in the dusk where fell the fires gleam
Softly it wove itself into our dream
(into our dream)
Just a song at twilight
When the lights are low
And the fading shadows softly come and go
Though my heart is weary
And the day is long
Still to us at twilight comes love’s old song
Comes love’s own sweet song
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring
Just a song at twilight when the lights are low
And the fading shadows softly come and go
Though my heart is weary
And the day is long
Still to us at twilight comes love’s old song
Comes love’s own
Oh, sweet song
Comes love’s sweet song
