Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
