This is a sappy love song, and I love it. I have no idea who wrote it, or when, except that it likely was prior to 1945. The only place I've ever heard it was on a scratchy 78 rpm record that was done at a college in eastern Arkansas in the mid-late 40s. A neighbor, now long gone, had recorded it with a friend and the quality was poor at best, but the song has haunted me for years. Any help would be appreciated.

It starts:

Sing me to sleep, the shadows fall,
Let me forget, the world and all.


The only other words I can remember are:

Love, I am lonely, nights are so long.
I want you only, you and your song.
....................................
..............Love, sing me to sleep.


I think the first part is the verse and the latter is the chorus, there are four lines in each part.

I have to leave now, but will check when I come back. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
