Lyrics
- Evening shadows always find me dreaming
By the fireside in my lonely chair
When the moon is high, like a lullaby
Tenderly I say my evening prayer
Refrain:
Dream shadows, roll back the years tonight
Dream shadows, banish my tears tonight
Take me down the trail of dreams
And let me dream once more
There beside the roses
And the one that I adore
Dream shadows, show me her smiling face
Dream shadows, place her in my embrace
Take my heart and make my heart
Live love’s old dream anew
Dream shadows, I’m blue
- Through the day I’m longing for the twilight
When the shadows bring sweet memory
When the sun descends, my poor heart depends
On the visions that you bring to me
