IRENE, GOOD-NIGHT.
Copyright, 1886, by Geo. Propheter, Jr.
Irene, good-night, think love of me, my pretty Irene,
Good-night, good-night, Irene, oh, precious one!
Irene, good-night, keep me always in thy dreaming.
Think, love, of me when the night closes day with its twilight;
Irene, good-night, softly the moonlight is gleaming.
Would I ne'er could leave thee, my pretty Irene, good-night!
I'll count the moments and the hours they pass so slowly by.
Until I see your sunny smiles and gaze into your eyes;
Oh, let me hear thy tender voice, I so oft heard before,
Irene, good-night, "oh, precious one, oh, lov'd one I adore!
Irene, good-night, keep me always in thy dreaming.
Think, love, of me when the night closes day with its twilight;
Irene, good-night, softly the moonlight is gleaming,
Would I ue'er could leave thee, my pretty Irene, good-night!
Irene, good-night, think, love of me, my pretty Irene, goodnight.
Good-night, Irene, oh, precious one, good-night, good-night!
