Lyrics
- Now in the silence of evening
Now in the sun sets glow
Tell me that beautiful story
you told me long ago
Whisper it softly and sweetly
While the winds murmur near
It is so long since I’ve seen you
Grant me this one wish dear
Chorus
Tell me that beautiful story
Only once again
Tell me of love and it’s glory
Tho’ I know it is in vain
Your mem’ry is always before me
With joy my soul to fill
So tell me that beautiful story
Say that you love me still
- When all the world was in darkness
There was a light in your eyes
Seeming to beckon me onward
my sad heart’s paradise
Now is my life’s incompleteness
Chang’d into joy complete
And all it’s wearisome sorrow
Now seem divinely sweet
