ORCHESTRA PLAYS
Once in the dear dead days beyond recall
When on the world the mist 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 day and long
Still to us at once
Light comes love's old song
Comes of 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 night
Of a day
So till the end
When life's *** 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 day and long
Still to us at twilight
Comes love's old song




Comes love's old sweet song
Comes love's old sweet song
Comes love's old sweet song
