Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

When twilight shadows are aglow
I hear a song I used to know
Played from a ghostly carousel
Weaving a spell of long ago

Chorus
Ah, ah, ah, ah, played soft and low
Haunting love song of long ago
Calling, calling, what can it be?
Ah, ah, ah, my lost melody

Interlude
It seems to bring a memory
Of a lost love that used to be
I hear it play, tender and gay
From far, far away, it calls to me
