a 1922 popular song
words and music by Randall McClelland
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- When the sunbeams fade away and the wandering shadows play
Then I’m blue, lonely too, while my thoughts drift back to you
With each treasured memory love comes stealing tenderly
Chorus
Drifting with the shades at gloaming
Drifting while in dreams I’m roaming
Sighing for a golden yesteryear
And an olden one time, when your love was true
Drifting with the silvery moonlight
Dreaming of a happy June night
Yearning for the day returning
Dearie I’ll be drifting back into your heart
- Breezes seem to breathe a sigh as they drift across the sky
Moonbeams glow swinging low just as in the long ago
In my heart the song of love rings for one I’m thinking of
