Lyrics | Just a Little After Taps Verse: Memories rarely ever disturb me While the sun shines bright, Tho’ reflections, of my affection For you comes day and night, Each bugle call has a separate meaning Each note speaks of you, If it could sound far off to where you are, You would understand. Refrain: At Reveille you seem to me Like the morning flower’s dew, When assembly sounds O’er the camping grounds I’m still thinking dear of you Through our hiking and drills, You’re the one thing that fills, My thoughts without a lapse But the time I love you most of all Is just a little after Taps. Verse: At the day’s closing, when I’m reposing ‘Neath a moonlit sky, Stars are blinking and I’m thinking Of the days when you and I, Won’t have to wish for, and won’t have to long for Those days so bright “Taps seems to be a message to me From you that says Good-Night.” |
