American Old Time Song Lyrics: 02 Dreamy Eyes Haunt Me Still
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 2
Dreamy Eyes Haunt Me Still
Far away in memory's valley,
Steals my heart in sweet delight
To my little sweetheart, Allie,
Who was once my life and light.
She has left me sad and lonely,
Tears unbidden come at will.
She has left no token, only
Dreamy eyes that haunt me still.
Chorus.
She has left me sad and lonely.
Wandering down life's rugged hill,
She has left me nothing, only
Dreamy eyes that haunt me still.
Life seemed long and light before us,
Swiftly did the moments go.
Soon a cloud came gliding o'er us,
Turning happiness to woe;
And my pathway, once so cheerful, .
Strewn with flowers on every side,
Now is lonely, sad, and tearful,
For I've lost my heart's sweet pride.-Chorus.
Star of hope above me beaming.
Smile upon me in your pride,
Of the lost I'm sadly dreaming,
Since affections roses died.
Years may come and years may vanish,
Still my heart with pain will fill,
I can never, never banish
Dreamy eyes that haunt me still.-Chorus.
