American Old Time Song Lyrics: 23 True As The Stars That Are Shining
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 23
True as the Stars That are Shining.
Copyright, 1874, by White & Goullaud.
Words by George Cooper. Music by W. H. Brockway.
True as the stare that are shining,
Love, will I be unto you;
Fond as the vine that's entwining,
Dear as the rose to the dew.
Life that would ever be sadness
Tranquilly flows when you're near me;
Thus in your beauty and gladness
Love ever lingers to cheer me.
Chorus.
True as the stars that are shining,
Love, will I be unto you;
Answer my fond heart's repining,
Say that you'll still be as true.
Day is bereft of its splendor.
Love, when you're gone from my sight;
Gazing in eyes that are tender
Life is a dream of delight.
Sweet is the breath of the roses,
Sweeter the joys that you bring, love;
Sorrow forever reposes.
Cares unavailingly cling, love.-Chorus.
Look in mine eyes once again, love,
Say you'll be true unto me;
True in the sunlight and rain, love,
True wheresoever I may be.
Clasp me again to your bosom.
Tell me in accents of sweetness;
Dear as to Spring is the blossom,
Bring to my heart love's completeness.-Chorus.
