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 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
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
Even today we hear love's song of yore, Deep in our hearts it dwells forevermore
Footsteps may falter, weary growth away, Still we can hear it at the close of day
So till the end when life's dim shadows fall, Love will be found the sweetest song of all
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
