Loves Old Sweet Song
Will Be Sung.

Once in the dear, dead days beyond
recall,
When on the world the nights be-
gin 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
freight CLEAN.
Softly ii wove itself into our
dreams
CHORUS
Just Il song at twilight. when the
lights are low,
And the Pickering shadows softly
come and go:
Tho the heart be weary, sad the
day and long.
Still to us at twilight, comes loves
old song,
Comes loves old sweet song.
Even today we hear loves song of
yore;
Deep in our hearts it dwells for
ever more;
Footsteps may falter. weary grow
the way,
day:
So, till the end. when life's dim
shadows falls,
Love will be found the sweetest
song of all.
