My love, my life, my all, was you And tho? the years have passed away At twilight time, each eve I stray Along the path of memory lane Because I know, we'll meet again So when this life for me is o?er Please meet me dear, beside the shore Of that great land where we will be.
Together for eternity
THROUGH THE GARDEN GATE
I stood by my window, in the moon?s silvery light And I watched for my loved one on a quite summer night My heart grew impatient. I could hardly wait To see him come a smiling, through the old garden gate
I stood by my window, in the dawn?s early light And my heart kept on saying, he will be here tonight Tho? tears dim my eyes, still in him I have faith Hoping he?ll come a smiling, through the old garden gate
I stood by my window, the whole winter through
And I dreamed of my love one, with a heart fond and true
And though spring has come. I?m willing to wait
For I?in sure he?ll come a smiling, through the old garden gate
THE DANCING SHADOWS
I love the dancing shadows when night begins to fall I love to hear the echo, of a whippoor will?s call I love to watch the heavens when stars come peeping thru And in a phantom dreamship. I?ll come drifting to you We?ll find a beautiful garden, and with a sweet scented flower We?ll sing each other a love song, until the morning hours And when the sun comes peeping, far in the eastern sky I'll hold you close to my heart dear and whisper good-by.
TO MY LITTLE GREY KITTEN
My little grey kitten, you?re so soft and cunning.
When I open my door, you always come running.
You don?t ask. for much, just a stroke or two A warm saucer of milk, is enough for you But soon you?ll grow up, and be on your way Seeking adventure, and so one day I?ll open my door, but something seems wrong I call for my kitty, but lo! she is gone
