[Verse 1]
The twi-light shades are fall-ing,
The sun has gone to rest, I
n dreams I'm now re-call-ing
The girl I love the best.

How well do I re-mem-ber
The gold-en days gone by,
When hearts were true and love was new
To you, my Lou, and I.

[Chorus]
In your eyes the light of love was soft-ly beam-ing,
My dear-ie, so sweet and cheer-y.
In your hair a shade of gold was gleam-ing,
Like moon-beams that shine

Lou Lou I still love you,
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne,
And I call you, when I fall to sleep a-dream-ing,
"That Old Girl of Mine."

[Verse 2]
The ros-es, sweet and ten-der,
Are sad when you are gone.
The stars have lost their splen-dor,
But ro-sy is the dawn.

The night-in-gales are sing-ing,
In sum-mer skies of blue
And while they sing they seem to bring
Sweet mem-o-ries of you.

[Repeat Chorus]
