I Heard You Singing - 1923 - Eric Coates

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Feb 2002

I heard you singing when the dawn was grey
and silver dew on every blossom lay;
and though the rising sun too soon
drank up the dew,
I thought I heard you singing
all the long day through,
all the long day through.

I heard you singing in the silent hour
when evening came with sleep
for bird and flower;
a song like happy murmuring
of woodland streams
I thought I heard you singing
down the vale of dreams,
down the vale of dreams.

Beloved, when the last call echoes clear,
and I must part from all that is so dear,
I shall not fear the valley
that before me lies,
If I may hear you singing
as I close my eyes,
as I close my eyes.
