Once in the dear dread 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 when fell the firelight's 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 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 for evermore
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

Just a song at twilight When the lights are low
And the flickering shadows softly come and go
Though 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
