Lyrics

  1. When vesper bells are ringing
    I hear sweet voices singing
    As evening shadows fall
    ‘Tis then my heart grows fonder
    As through the flow’rs I wander
    With thoughts so true, dear
    Always of you, dear

Chorus
Moonlight and roses
Bring wonderful mem’ries of you
My heart reposes
In beautiful thoughts so true
Junelight discloses
Love’s olden dreams sparkling anew
Moonlight and roses
Bring wonderful mem’ries of you

  1. I oft recall our meeting
    Our tender, loving greeting
    Your smile still haunts my dreams
    And then alas, we parted
    You left me broken hearted
    But still I yearn, dear
    For your return, dear
