Lyrics
  • Let the Lovelight Be Always Shining (For the Loved ones Away) Verse: When twilight shades are softly falling, And nature seems to be at rest, ‘Tis then we love to dream of love‐days, Days of old that we loved best. How around the fireside oft we’d gather, With loved ones gone away, Soon we know that they will be returning, As we wait we’ll smile and say: Refrain: Let the lovelight be always shining For the loved ones away, Each cloud has a silver lining, That brightens the way
  • And when they will be returning, Let no tears remain, But smile up and show the lovelight, When they come home again. Verse: O, could we live the dear old love‐days, And breathe once more its magic spell, And tell again the old, old story, That we loved so well to tell. Then let memry’s picture with us linger, With its thoughts so sweet and rare, May the lovelight be to us the brightest, When we say our ev’ning pray’r. Refrain
