Lyrics:
At twilight hours, 'mid sweetest flow'rs,
I wonder and dream of you, dearie,
Roses so rare, fragrant and fair,
Of you, sweetheart, they remind me.
When shadows fall and night birds call,
I miss you most of all.
chorus:
Meet me at twilight, sweetheart,
When all the lights are low,
Meet me in Love's sweet garden,
Down where the roses grow.
Tell me once more you love me,
Whisper that you'll be true.
Oh, meet me at twilight,
Sweet dreamy twilight, sweetheart,
I'm waiting for you.
Sighing all day when you're away,
I'm longing to see you, my dearie,
In all my dreams, you're mine, it seems,
Then, dear, you're always beside me.
Dreaming of you, that's all I do,
Love, will my dreams come true?
Sydney P. Harris, 1914
