Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 13
My Heart is Sad To-Night.
Copyright, 1885, by Alberto Himan.
Sing me a song, of sorrow, love,
One that tells of hope's first blight;
Leave lights me ones till the morrow, love,
For my heart is sad to-night.
Vain were thine notes of gladness, love,
To win one answering tone;
For the heart that is turned to sadness, love.
Will wake at its touch alone;
For the heart that is turned to sadness, love.
Will wake at its touch alone.
Some other hour for lightness, love,
Some other, some other hour than now;
When eyes are dimmed in brightness, love,
And clouds are on the brow.
Then sing me a song of sorrow, love,
One that tells of hope's first blight;
Leave lightsome ones till the morrow, love.
For my heart is sad to-night;
Leave lightsome ones till the morrow, love,
For my heart is sad to-night.
