In The Gloaming by Dr Donny Lyrics
In the gloaming*, oh, my darling!
When the lights are dim and low
And the quiet shadows falling
Softly come and softly go;
When the winds are sobbing faintly
With a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me, and love me
As you did once long ago?
In the gloaming, oh, my darling!
Think not bitterly of me!
Tho' I passed away in silence
Left you lonely, set you free;
For my heart was crush'd with longing
What had been could never be;
It was best to leave you thus, dear
Best for you, and best for me
When the lights are dim and low
And the quiet shadows falling
Softly come and softly go;
When the winds are sobbing faintly
With a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me, and love me
As you did once long ago?
In the gloaming, oh, my darling!
Think not bitterly of me!
Tho' I passed away in silence
Left you lonely, set you free;
For my heart was crush'd with longing
What had been could never be;
It was best to leave you thus, dear
Best for you, and best for me
