The Song

• The song that I sing
  Was a song that I knew,
  I sang it again
  And I thought then of you.
  
  Of the sweet love we had
  On that night long ago,
  And I saw your dear face
  In the song’s after-glow.
  
  Then I heard again
  And the chorus was true,
  For the love I had then
  Now came back anew.
  
  It is sweeter by far
  Than the song that we knew,
  For I found you again
  And the song has come true
