From Music Hall Memories No. 7:<\/strong>\n\nRound me at twilight comes stealing \nShadows of days that are gone. \nDreams of the old days revealing \nMem'ries of love's golden dawn.\n\nMemories, Memories, <\/em>\nDreams of love so true, \nO'er the Sea of Memory \nI'm drifting back to you \nChildhood days, wildwood days,\r\nAmong the birds and bees,\r\nYou left me alone,\r\nBut still you're my own\r\nIn my beautiful memories.<\/em>\r\n\r\nSunlight may teach me forgetting, \nNoonlight brings thoughts that are new, \nTwilight brings sighs and regretting \nMoonlight means sweet dreams of you.<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
