The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I wandered last night in the bright moonlight
Thru a most wonderful garden fair
And a nightingale sang a song of love
While I stood listening there
But it wasn’t the song that caused a tear
Or the stars peeping out of the blue
But just the broken heart o’ me
That kept a-callin’ you - In this garden today I chanced to stray
Amid sweet flowers of wondrous hue
And their fragrance rare perfumed the air
My thoughts turned back to you
But it wasn’t their beauty that caused a tear
Or the birds flying up in the blue
But just the aching heart o’ me
That kept a-callin’ you
