Love’s Old Sweet Song
Music by James Lynam Molloy with lyrics by Graham Clifton Bingham
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.
Once in the dear dead days
beyond recall
When on the world the mists
began to fall
Out of the dreams that rose
in happy throng
Low to our hearts sang
an old sweet song
And in the dusk where fell
the firelight gleam
Softly it wove itself into
our dream . . .
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.
