Lyrics

  1. Sitting in the cosy parlor
    When the nights are long,
    While the cricket ’neath the window
    Sings his dainty song:
    With the one we love beside us
    And no eyes to mark,
    Oh how gaily glide the hours
    Kissing in the dark
    Oh how gaily glide the hours
    Kissing in the dark
  2. Softly then the vows we murmur
    Fall upon the air,
    Little hands in ours are folded,
    Gently nestling there.
    Not a sweeter note of music
    sings the morning lark,
    Then is heard when lips are meeting
    Kissing in the dark
    Then is heard when lips are meeting
    Kissing in the dark
  3. Surely then we grow much bolder
    For we know this well,
    That we whisper ’neath the shadows
    All love bids us tell.
    Let us bless the golden hours
    With no eyes to mark,
    That we pass among the maidens
    Kissing in the dark!
    That we pass among the maidens
    Kissing in the dark
