Love's Old Sweet Song (Just a Song at Twilight) - 1884 Public Domain

[Chords: |F| - |C7| - |Am| - |E7| - |G7| - |C| - |Bb|] [Verse 1] [F] Once in the dear dead [C7] days beyond re[F]call, [Am] When on the world the [E7] mists began to [Am] fall, [F] Out of the dreams that [C7] rose in happy [F] throng, [G7] Low to our hearts, Love [C] sang an old sweet [G7] song; [C7] [F] And in the dusk where [C7] fell the firelight [F] gleam, [Am] Softly it wove it[E7]self into our [Am] dream. [Bb] I hear the [F] echo of [C7] an old re[F]frain, [G7] Singing the song of [C] long ago a[G7]gain. [C7] [Chorus] [F] Just a song at [Bb] twilight, when the [F] lights are [C7] low, [F] And the flick'ring [G7] shadows softly [C] come and [C7] go, [F] Tho' the heart be [Bb] weary, sad the [F] day and [C7] long, [F] Still to us at [Bb] twilight comes [F] Love's [C7] old [F] song, [F] Comes Love's [C7] old sweet [F] song. [Verse 2] [F] Even today we [C7] hear Love's song of [F] yore, [Am] Deep in our hearts it [E7] dwells forever[Am]more; [F] Footsteps may falter, [C7] weary grow the [F] way, [G7] Still we can hear it [C] at the close of [G7] day; [C7] [F] So till the end, when [C7] life's dim shadows [F] fall, [Am] Love will be found the [E7] sweetest song of [Am] all. [Bb] I hear the [F] echo of [C7] an old re[F]frain, [G7] Singing the song of [C] long ago a[G7]gain. [C7] [Chorus] [F] Just a song at [Bb] twilight, when the [F] lights are [C7] low, [F] And the flick'ring [G7] shadows softly [C] come and [C7] go, [F] Tho' the heart be [Bb] weary, sad the [F] day and [C7] long, [F] Still to us at [Bb] twilight comes [F] Love's [C7] old [F] song, [F] Comes Love's [C7] old sweet [F] song.
