Twilight
Music by Evans Lloyd
Words by C.P. McDonald
Here in the twilight I’m waiting,
Waiting and watching for you;
Longing, dear, to be relating
Love’s story old, yet so new:
I am content when you’re near me,
Sad when you are far away;
You, only you, love, can cheer me,
You alone make my heart gay.
Refrain:
Twilight, twilight,
Meet me, dear heart, in my light
When shadows softly are creeping,
When in the trees birds are sleeping;
Twilight, twilight,
After the long day is through,
When the sun slowly dies,
In the deeps of the skies,
In twilight, In twilight, I wait for you.
Your heart will be mine forever,
Time cannot change mine for you;
Two true hearts nothing can sever,
Always love will bloom anew;
Twilight enchantment comes stealing,
Stealing o’er me, and o’er you;
To me love’s dream it’s revealing,
Bidding me ever to woo.
Refrain
