The Same Old Two 1908 'Algeria'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Feb 2004

Daytime is for playtime
for trouble and for schemes.
Night time is the right time
for slumber and for dreams.
All things great and small things
at certain times are best,
and evening star time is for love
when fire flies dance above.

Ev'rywhere that star shines down on
seashore, mountain, field or town
there it sees the same old two
the love lorn lad and sweetheart true
o'er the face of countless lands
'tis thus they wander holding hands
All they do is this, this, this,
and all they say is "I love you."

Ev'rywhere that star shines down on
seashore, mountain, field or town
there it sees the same old two
the love lorn lad and sweetheart true
o'er the face of countless lands
'tis thus they wander holding hands
All they do is this, this, this,
and all they say is "I love you."

Morning at the dawning
is bright and fair to see.
Sweeter and completer
the sunset hour may be.
Moonlight and the twilight
have beauties all their own.
But dearest is the hour by far
when gleams the evening star.

Ev'rywhere that star shines down on
seashore, mountain, field or town
there it sees the same old two
the love lorn lad and sweetheart true
o'er the face of countless lands
'tis thus they wander holding hands
All they do is this, this, this,
and all they say is "I love you."

Ev'rywhere that star shines down on
seashore, mountain, field or town
there it sees the same old two
the love lorn lad and sweetheart true
o'er the face of countless lands
'tis thus they wander holding hands
All they do is this, this, this,
and all they say is "I love you."
