VERSE 01: When twilight shades are softly falling,/And nature seems to be at rest,/’Tis then we love to dream of love days,/Days of old that we loved best./How around the fireside oft we’d gather/With the loves ones gone away,/Soon we know that they will be returning,/As we wait we’ll smile and say:
CHORUS: Let love light be always shining/For the loved ones away,/Each cloud has a silver lining/That brightens the way;/And when they will be returning,/Let no tears remain,/But smile up and show the love light/When they come home again.
VERSE 02: O, could we live the dear old love days,/And breathe once more its magic spell,/And tell again the old, old story/That we loved so well to tell./Then let memry’s picture with us linger/With its thoughts so sweet and rare,/May the love light be to us the brightest,/When we say our ev’ning pray’r.
