Lyrics
- When in the early dawn, love
You linger ’mid opening flowers
Glowing in tender beauty
Glist’ning ’mid dewy showers
O think of me in your dreaming
Waft me a tender sigh
Just say that you love me darling
As in the years gone by
Refrain:
Love, sweet love of old
Whisperings low I hear
Borne on the murm’ring breeze
Close to my list’ning ear
Love, sweet love, of old
Waft me a tender sigh
Saying you love me, my darling
Just as in years gone by
Whisper, whisper
As in the days gone by
- When in the silent night, love
You gaze in the azure bright
Watching each woodland beauty
Pale in the moon’s soft light
Then think of me in your dreaming
Waft me a tender sigh
Just say that you love me darling
As in the years gone by
