In the Gloaming

In the gloaming, oh my darling,
When the lights are dim and low,
And the quiet shadows falling,
Softly come, and softly go.

When the winds are sobbing faintly,
With a gentle lull of woe,
Will you think of me and love me,
As you did once long ago?

In the gloaming, oh my darling,
Think not bitterly of me,
Though I passed away in silence,
Left you lonely, set you free.

For my heart was crushed with longing,
What had been could never be,
It was best to leave you thus dear,
Best for you, and best for me.

These are the lyrics to the song In The Gloaming as sung by Dana Reeve at the end of Christopher Reeve's directorial debut from the film of the same title . . . written by Anne F. Hamson & Meta Orred . . . performed by Dana Reeve . . .
