Moonlight and Roses

When vespers bells are ringing
I hear sweet voices singing
As evening shadows fall
'Tis then my heart grows fonder
As through the flowers I wander
With thoughts so true, dear
Always of you, dear

Moonlight and roses
Bring wonderful memories of you
My heart reposes
In beautiful thoughts so true
June light discloses
Love's golden dreams sparkling anew
Moonlight and roses
Bring memories of you

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

June light discloses
Love's golden dreams sparkling anew
Moonlight and roses
Bring memories of you
