Oft In The Stilly Night - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Oft in the Stilly Night. 
Oft in the stilly night, Ere slumber's chain has bound me, Fond mem'ry brings the light Of other days around me; The smiles, the tears of boyhood's years, The words of love then spoken, The eyes that shone, now dimmed and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken! Thus in the stilly night. Ere slumbers chain has bound me. Sad mem'ry brings the light Of other days around me. 
When I remember all The friends so linked together, I've seen around me fall, Like leaves in Winter weather, I feel like one who treads alone Borne banquet hall deserted. Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead. And all but me departed. Thus in the stilly night, Ere slumber's chain has bound me, Sad mem'ry brings the light Of other days around me.
