I looked in the DT and couldn't find this, but of COURSE it belongs on this thread:

LOVE'S OLD SWEET SONG
lyrics, G.Clifton Bingham, music, J.L.Molloy

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 sang an old sweet song.
And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam,
Softly it wove itself into our dream.

refrain
Just a song at twilight, when the lights are low,
And 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 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 til the end, when life's dim shadows fall,
Love will be found the sweetest song of all.

Big group hug to all you mudcats... Alice in Montana
