Just Gwenty Years Ago. HAT was that I heard you say? CHORUS-Think of all the sighs and tears, That was in a million homes Just twenty years ago. That hour shines brighter now, to-night, CHORUS Yes, you wrote that Frank had fallen, While bravely charging on the foe; 'Twas here, I read that trying message Just twenty years ago. CHORUS When I recall that day and hour, For one who passed from earth away Just twenty years ago. CHORUS And while my days are lengthened out, And years do onward flow, Sad memory will recall the scene Of twenty years ago. CHORUS And when I've crossed that valley o'er, That's free from earthly grief and woe, Then I shall see the one that fell Just twenty years ago. CHORUS |
