Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now in the stillness of evening
Now in the sun’s fading glow;
Sing me that beautiful song, my dear,
The song that I loved long ago.
Dear to my heart are the mem’ries
Brought by that tender refrain;
So sing to me “The Rosary,”
I’m longing to hear it again.

[Refrain]
Sing me “The Rosary,”
The sweetest song of all
Sing me “The Rosary,”
And happy days recall.
I drift again to lands of bliss
Where true loves never part.
Sing me “The Rosary,”
The song that reached my heart.
Sing

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
Oft when the day’s dark and dreary,
Oft when the world’s going wrong;
Then, dear, it’s you who can bring me cheer
By singing that sweet tender song.
Sweet as the song of an angel,
Sent from the heavens above;
So sing to me “The Rosary,”
The song that I always will love

[Refrain]
