Subject: Lyr Add: THE OLD REFRAIN From: Frank Maher Date: 17 Dec 98 - 11:18 PM I often think of home, de o de a, When I am all alone and far away, I sing an old refrain, de o de a, For it recalls to me of bygone days, It takes me back again to meadows fair, Where sunlight's golden rays beam every where, My childhood days again come back to me, My mother's face in fancy too I see, It was my mother taught me how to sing, And to that memory, my heart will cling, I'm never sad or alone while on my way, As long as I can sing de o de a. Though years have passed and gone, de o de a, And though my heart is young, my head is gray, Yet still the echoes ring, de o de a, And dear old memories forever stay, My song can bring me days of sweet delight, And sweetest dreams throughout the darkest night, Of all that life can give, that song is best, I'll take it with me when I go to rest, And when at last my journey here is o'er, 'Twill sound more joyfully than ere before, For up to heaven I will take my lay, The angels too will sing, de o de a. I hope I got all the words right. The record I took the words from is scratched (Henry Burr) All the best |

Subject: RE: Looking for lyrics From: Brack& Date: 18 Dec 98 - 03:27 AM I know it appeared in a 1936 Hollywood musical called "The King Steps Out". Also I'm sure I've heard Deanna Durbin do it many years ago. Regards Mick Bracken |
