The twilight shades are falling
The sun has gone to rest
In dreams I'm now recalling
The girl I love the best
How well do I remember
The golden days gone by
When hearts were true and love was new
To you, my Lou and I

In your eyes the light of love was softly beaming
My dearie, so sweet and cheery
In your hair a shade of gold was gleaming
Like moonbeams that shine
Lou, Lou I still love you
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
And I call you, when I fall to sleep a-dreaming
That old girl of mine

The roses sweet and tender
Are sad when you are gone
The stars have lost their splendor
But rosy is the dawn
The nightingales are singing
In summer skies of blue
And while they sing they seem to bring
Sweet memories of you

In your eyes the light of love was softly beaming
My dearie, so sweet and cheery
In your hair a shade of gold was gleaming
Like moonbeams that shine
Lou, Lou I still love you
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
And I call you, when I fall to sleep a-dreaming
That old girl of mine
