Lyrics

[00:08.67] Once in the dear dead days beyond recall.
[00:16.93] When on the world the mists began to fall,
[00:25.09] Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
[00:32.26] Low to our hearts love sang an old sweet song
[00:39.42] And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam
[00:47.18] Softly it wove itself into our dream
[00:56.24] Just a song at twilight
[01:02.07] When the lights are low,
[01:05.50] And the flickering shadows
[01:10.47] Softly come and go
[01:14.30] Though the heart be weary,
[01:19.98] Sad the day and long,
[01:23.91] Still to us at twilight comes love's old song
[01:33.03] Comes love's old sweet song.
[01:54.18] Even today we hear love's song of yore
[02:02.04] Deep in our hearts it dwells forever more
[02:09.80] Footsteps may falter, weary grows our way
[02:17.17] Still we can hear it at the close of day
[02:24.93] So till the end when life's dim shadows fall
[02:32.36] Love will be found the sweetest song of all.
[02:41.22] Just a song at twilight
[02:45.89] When the lights are low,
[02:50.62] And the flickering shadows
[02:55.70] Softly come and go
[03:00.72] Though the heart be weary,
[03:05.10] Sad the day and long,
[03:09.48] Still to us at twilight comes love's old song
[03:18.35] Comes love's old sweet song.
