a 1922 popular song
words and music by Fred M. Mills
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
