Lyrics

  1. Brightly the moonlight is shining
    Down through the trees from above
    Two lovers wait, by the old garden gate
    Telling tales of love
    He bids the maid cease repining
    Whispering: “Sweetheart, don’t sigh!
    Soon you and I will be happy
    In the sweet bye and bye”

Chorus
In the sweet bye and bye, in the sweet bye and bye
We’ll have a cottage that’s built for two
Then lovey’ll love dovey and dovey’ll love oo
In the sweet bye and bye, in the sweet bye and bye
Love’s dream will seem sweet as peaches and cream
In the sweet bye and bye

  1. “After the winter is over, after the summer is done
    I’ll have a cot in a shady green spot with my only one
    Hand in hand, down through the clover
    When work is over we’ll stray
    Then we’ll forget all our sorrows watching baby play”
