Lyrics
There is a land wherein our troth we plighted
Happy the memory of that golden day
Heart beat with heart, and souls were united
Dear one, until you went away
REFRAIN
Come, come! for happiness is waiting
There, in the twilight glow
And Love’s sweet refrain we shall hear once again
In that dear Land of the Long Ago
There is a garden where our love we planted
Fair grew the blossom in those days of yore
And, in my heart, that emblem enchanted
Dear one, will bloom for evermore
REFRAIN
Come, come! for happiness is waiting
There, in the twilight glow
And Love’s grand refrain we shall hear once again
In that dear Land of the Long Ago
