Night Song

The night it surrounds me
And sings me its love song
And fills me with yearning
With sweet sad impressions
On the edge of a memory
And love that runs deeply
I urge them come to me
These lovely old memories

These faded impressions
They tug at my heart strings
And fill me with longing
Of times past remembering
Of youth and its wanderings
Of life that is passing
And loved ones long taken
But loved, not forgotten

How gently the night sounds
Stir up these old feelings
And memories of love songs
The treasures that live on
I welcome the night song
As gently it plays on
