As The Twilight Shadows Deepen

Where The Weeping Willow Waves,

All Alone In Tears I'm Kneeling

O'er My Sweetheart's Lonely Grave.



Chorus:

I Am Asking God's Forgiveness,

For You're Waiting There I Know,

Out Beyond That Blue Horizon

Just Across The Bridge Of Gold.



I Regret Those Words I've Spoken

Every Yesterday Of Tears

That I Caused You Little Darling

As We Wandered Through The Years



Chorus



If I'd Only Read Your Letter

Saying You Were In Despair

That Your Weary Heart Was Broken

And In Pain Was Lying There.



Chorus



I Tonight Would Not Be Weeping

O'er The Roses On Your Grave.

But Instead Dear I'd Be Happy

And This Sorrow I'd Have Saved.



Chorus



If I Only Would Have Listened

When You Told Me Not To Stray

But I Said I Loved Another

Left You There And Went Away.



Chorus



Now My Life Is Sad And Lonely

Down Life's Path I Trudge Along

But I'll Meet You Up In Heaven

When From This Old World I've Gone.



Chorus
