Lyrics
  • Keep the Love-Spark Burning in Your Heart Verse: Day and night the shells are bursting o’er me Cannons coming on the battle plain Still at times Love’s vision comes before me By the fireside’s glow we dream again
  • You’re all alone, the fire is burning low, So keep that little spark of Love aglow! Refrain: Keep the love-spark burning in your heart, dear, Keep the love-light shining in your eyes. And when the twilight rest is bringing Let mem’ry’s bells be sweetly ringing. Let the star of hope be gleaming, dearie, Tho’ the ocean keeps us far apart While the days may seem long and dark and drearie, Keep the love-spark burning in your heart! Verse: All around me weary boys are sleeping Maybe dreaming of their sweethearts too O’er the distant hills the moon is creeping Bringing thoughts of love and Home and you. But, dearest, though it’s far into the night, That little spark is ever burning bright! Refrain
