Lyrics:
Once in the dear dark days beyond recall
When on the earth a mists began to fall
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Still 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 at song at twilight, when the lights are low
When the flick'ring shadows softly come and go
Tho' 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 the songs of yore
Deep in our heart 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
When the flick'ring shadows softly come and go
Tho' 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
