American Old Time Song Lyrics: 08 Once Again
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 8
ONCE AGAIN.
Music by Arthur Sullivan.
I linger round the very spot
Where years ago we met.
And wonder when yon quite forgot,
Or if you quite forget!
And tender yearnings rise anew
For love that used to be;
If you could know that I was true,
And I that you were free. Ah!-
Love once again, meet me once again!
Old love is waking, shall it wake in vain?
I ever yet my thoughts incline,
And back my mem'ry slips;
I feel warm fingers lock'd in mine,
1 see those quiv'ring lips
Whose murmurs came like music thro',
When mine had set them free,
That all the world was naught to you,
Who only wanted me. Ah!-
Love once again, meet me once again!
Old love is waking, shall it wake in vain?
