Lyrics

  1. There’s a little old church that’s covered with moss
    Where I held your hand tenderly
    I often go there to gaze at the cross
    And dream that you’ll come back to me

Chorus
How I’d love to hear the organ
In the chapel in the moonlight
While we’re strolling down the aisle
Where roses entwine
How I’d love to hear you whisper
In the chapel in the moonlight
That the lovelight in your eyes
Forever will shine
Till the roses turn to ashes
Till the organ turns to rust
If you never come I’ll still be there
Till the moonlight turns to dust
How I’d love to hear the choir
In the chapel in the moonlight
As they sing “Oh! Promise Me”
Forever be mine

  1. In a little old book a lovely old hymn
    Still echoes in my memory
    Should I turn to the page my eyes would grow dim
    With thoughts of what once used to be
