Lyrics

  1. I’ve walked the lane of sorrow
    Which seemed to be my doom
    For years I hoped the morrow
    Would lead me out the gloom
    Today the lane is turning
    The dark clouds turn to light
    And in your eyes their lovelight lies
    My sad dreams end tonight

Chorus
By the dawn of tomorrow dear
A new world there shall be
Where naught but love will reign alone
Until Eternity
My heart will cease to sigh for you
My love will know no fear
For dear heart, near heart, you’ll be mine
By the dawn of tomorrow dear

  1. I’ve drained the cup of sadness
    It filled my heart with pain
    Today it changed to gladness
    My love’s not been in rain
    The hours dear heart draw nearer
    I wait them one and all
    When you’ll be mine and I’ll be thine
    Until beyond recall
