Round me at twilight come stealing
Shadows of days that are gone
Dreams of the old days revealing
Mem'ries of love's golden dawn

Memories, memories
Dreams of love so true
O'er the sea of memory
I'm drifting back to you

Childhood days, wild wood days
Among the birds and bees
You left me alone, but still you're my own
In my beautiful memories

Sunlight may teach me forgetting
Noonlight brings thoughts that are new
Twilight brings sighs and regretting
Moonlight means sweet dreams of you

Memories, memories
Dreams of love so true
O'er the sea of memory
I'm drifting back to you

Childhood days, wild wood days
Among the birds and bees
You left me alone, but still you're my own
In my beautiful memories
