Lyrics:
I hear tonight the old bells chime
Their sweetest, softest strain,
They bring to me the olden time,
In visions once again;
Once more across the meadow land,
Beside the flowing stream,
We wander, darling, hand in hand,
And dream love's golden dream:
chorus:
Love's golden dream is past,
Hidden by mists of pain,
Yet we shall meet at last,
Never to part again.
I look into your lovelit eyes,
I hear your gentle voice,
You come to me from Paradise,
And bid my heart rejoice;
Sweet vision, fade not from my sight,
I would not wake to pain,
But dream till at the portals bright,
I clasp your hand again:
