In the gloaming oh my darling
When the lights are dim and low
And the quiet shadows falling
Softly come and softly go
When the winds are sobbing faintly
With a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me and love me
As you did once long ago
For my heart was brushed with longing
What had been could never be
It was best to leave you thus dear
Best for you and best for me
It was best to leave you thus
Best for you and best for me
