Accompaniment:


Lyrics

  1. The years have gone swiftly as only a day
    When you and I wandered along love’s pathway
    Your cheeks now have faded, your hair now is white
    But still I remember that bright moonlit night

Chorus
After all these years, after all those tears
I sit by the window, dear, longing for you
And wonder if sometimes you long for me too
It seems just a day, since you went away
Love’s light still is shining in my heart today
After all these years

  1. Could I only call back those years dear to me
    When in your bright eyes the lovelight I could see
    But those days have gone never more to return
    Yet for you and your love my heart always yearns
