TOGETHER.
Copyright, 1890, by Willis Woodward & Co.
Words and Music by C. W. Bernard.

Just at the close of ev'ning, all nature is hushed and still;
Shadows are crowding; around me, causing my heart to thrill;
Thoughts of the past come before me, thoughts of a mother at home,
Thoughts of the fate that has caused me so far from my loved ones to roam;
Thoughts of the fate that has caused me so far from my loved ones to roam.
Fondly I gaze at the picture that memory has caused to appear;
Fondly I waft them sweet kisses, wishing that they were near;
Oh! that some day In the future fate may have something in store
To bring us more closely together, together to part no more;
Oh! that some day in the future fate may have something in store
To bring us more closely together, together to part no more.

Gladly I'll greet the dawning of the day that will bring as rest;
Gladly I'll welcome their coming, the dear ones that I love best;
I care not for friends that desert me, I care not for hardship or pain;
I'm counting the hours that are flying 'till I see their dear faces again;
I'm counting the hours that are flying 'till I see their dear faces again.
Though sorrow and care overwhelm me, though dark And drear oe the night,
The sun will shine bright on the 'morrow, and out of darkness come light;
All clouds have a lining of silver, an adage both old and true;
I'll take it, dear friends, as an omen, and hasten, my loved ones, to you;
All clouds have a lining of silver, an adage both old and true;
I'll take it, dear friends, as an omen, And hasten, my loved ones, to you.
