The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- All by myself at twilight
Watching the day depart
And with the fading twilight
Happiness fills my heart
Chorus
When the moon comes over the mountain
Ev’ry beam, brings a dream dear of you
Once again we stroll ‘neath the mountain
Thru’ that rose covered valley we knew
Each day is gray and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I’m alone, with my mem’ries of you
- What do I care for sunshine
Blue skies seem all in vain
I only hope that sometime
We two will meet again
Sung here by Vancha March:
