Star of the evening
James M. Sayles
1.
Beautiful star in Heav'n so bright,
Softly falls thy silv'ry light,
As thou movest from earth afar,
Star of the evening, Beautiful star.
Star of the evening, Beautiful star.
CHORUS:
Beautiful star, (Beautiful star,)
Beautiful star, (beautiful star,)
Star of the evening
Beautiful, beautiful star....
2.
In Fancy's eye thou seem'st to say,
Follow me come from earth away
Upwards thy spirit's pinions try,
To realms of love beyond the sky.
To realms of love beyond the sky.
(CHORUS)
3.
Shine on oh star of love divine,
And may our soul's affections twine
Around thee as thou moov'st afar,
Star of the twilight beautiful star.
Star of the twilight beautiful star.
(CHORUS)
