Just A Song At Twilight

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 love sung 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 own sweet song

Even today we hear love's song of yore
Deep in our hearts it dwells forevermore
Footsteps may falter, weary grow the way
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 own sweet song
