Lyrics
- I sit and wonder when the twilight falls
I sit and wonder when the nightbird calls
I wonder if we two will meet again
Or if we must hope all in vain
It may be when summer brings the rose
It may be mid falling snows
But tho’ we forevermore shall dwell apart
Your image will be in my heart
Refrain
Just because it’s you
I always will be true
I know you’ll be the same to me
Through all eternity
Just because it’s you
Because you love me, too
Our hearts may break for love’s sake
Just because, because it’s you
- I see the star that shines for you and me
The star of love, the star of constancy
It bids me hope altho’ dark clouds arise
To read my fate in your eyes
It may be beyond this world of pain
The old love will come once again
As onward forevermore the ages roll
We two are one, one heart, one soul
