Beautiful Thoughts Linger Near Me.
Copyright, 1872, by Cory Brothers.
Words by Samuel N. Mitchell. Music by Chas. D. Blake.

Beautiful thoughts linger near me, sweetest of visions appear,
Bearing their gladness to cheer me every bright day of the year;
Velvety voices are bringing tidings delightful to hear,
Heavenly angels are singing, beautiful thoughts linger near.

Chorus.
Beautiful thoughts linger near me, sweetest of visions appear,
Hearing a gladness to cheer me every bright day of the year.

Beautiful thoughts linger near me, fairest of maidens I view,
Coming with roses to cheer me, kisses so tender and true;
Bluest of eyes are a-peeping, slyly and careless of fear;
Blushes in cheeks are a-sleeping, beautiful thoughts linger near.-Chorus.

Beautiful thoughts never leave me, always be ready and near,
For you can never deceive nut, all is so charming and dear;
While the days quickly are flying, skies will be cloudy and clear,
And when all others are sighing beautiful thoughts linger near. -Chorus.
