[Verse 1] Oh sing no more, for I am sad, And your plaintive, gentle air, Brings back the lost days of my youth, And the old, old aching care! I think of the long hours I spent, They all come back again, Like phantoms of the dismal past With sorrow in their train, I think of friends who’ve gone before Of friends who loved me well; Oh the anguish of sweet friendships lost None but the sad can tell.
[Chorus] So sing no more by twilight; love, Sad songs that make me wee; But let me look at your dear face And while looking fall asleep.
[Verse 2] So Sing no more but let me sleep And when I wake again Sit by with your sweet good face, Till I forget my pain, And tell me all your loving thoughts And put your hand in mine The warm soft hand I love so well, The hand that’s mine and thineSo sing no more by twilight love, Sad songs that make me weep: But let me look at your dear face And looking fall asleep.
[Chorus
