ONCE MORE WE SPEAK Copyright, 1890, by Willis Woodward & Co. Words and Music by James H. Cullen. 
Once more we speak, 'tis long since we were parted By false friends, who said my love was untrue, And made my life a burthen in its splendor, Long years had passed before his faults he knew. Whene'er we'd meet, like strangers we would pass, The pain was sharp and very hard to bear; And while he thought me happy in my splendor, I vain would meet with misery and despair! 
Chorus. Once more we speak, no more will idle fancy Bring bitter tears to dim his manly eye; And side by side we'll battle life together, Once more we speak, so let the past go by. 
In lonely hours without a friend to cheer me, My mind would wander back to her again; And in my dream I Ofttimes see her near me, With happy less look she would at me gaze. But after years at last there came a change, The link was found, the mystery cleared away; In words of kindness all was soon forgotten, When jealousy no longer held its sway.-Chorus.
