a 1923 dancing song
words by Harry Owens
music by Vincent Rose
The sheet music:
Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- The time is coming soon to say goodbye
A time of sadness it will be
But, honey, listen to my parting sigh
And linger on awhile with me
Chorus
The stars shine above you, yet linger awhile
They whisper “I love you”, so linger awhile
And when you have gone away
Each hour will seem a day
I’ve something to tell you, so linger awhile
- Your pretty smile will always linger on
Though you are many miles away
I will be lonely, dear, when you are gone
The skies of blue will turn to gray
