American Old Time Song Lyrics: 23 I Do Not Watch Alone
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 23
I DO NOT WATCH ALONE.
Words and Music by Annie Fricker.
When every flower that ope'd at morn
Its weary eye shall close,
And by the wings of mem'ry borne,
My thoughts on thee repose;
I love to hear the ev'ning bells,
To list their soothing tone,
For to my heart their music tells,
I do not watch alone, I do not watch alone.
In fancy, while I hear that chime,
I rove again with thee,
And hear thy vow: "At ev'ning time,
My thoughts of thee shall be."
Then will I love those vesper bells,
And list their soothing tone;
For to my heart their music tells,
I do not watch alone, I do not watch alone.
