Scroggins/Charles Avril [00:04.53]The twilight softly gathered [00:06.89]Round my home among the hills [00:09.84]And all nature soon will settle down to rest [00:14.19] [00:15.37]While I sit and sadly ponder [00:17.95]And my heart with longing fills [00:21.00]As I often think of one that I love best [00:25.45] [00:26.60]We were wedded in the springtime [00:29.26]And our hearts they knew no pain [00:32.36]Fair nature seemed to smile on us that day [00:36.83] [00:37.82]Now she sleeps beneath the lilacs [00:40.52]And she'll ne'er come back again [00:43.40]Where the silver Colorado wends it's way [00:47.80] [00:49.03]There's a sob on every breeze [00:52.56] [00:53.26]And a sigh comes from the trees [00:56.60] [00:57.45]And the mocking birds they sing a sadder way [01:02.10] [01:03.03]For the flowers creep no more [01:05.75]Round my cheerless cabin door [01:08.57]Where the silver Colorado wends it's way [01:13.26] [01:36.04]The silver snow is gleaming [01:38.25]On your distant mountainside [01:41.53]Where often used to wander Nell and I [01:45.43] [01:46.70]And the birds are singing gaily [01:49.23]In the valley far below [01:51.95]Where I long some day to lay me down and die [01:56.45] [01:57.76]Then our lives were gay and happy [02:00.38]In the shadow of the hills [02:03.40]My heart beats fonder for her day by day [02:08.04] [02:08.80]And I feel her presence near me [02:11.86]As I sit alone tonight [02:14.51]Where the silver Colorado wends it's way [02:19.05] [02:19.96]There's a sob on every breeze [02:23.74] [02:24.48]And a sigh comes from the trees [02:27.85] [02:28.37]And the mocking birds they sing a sadder way [02:33.16] [02:34.14]For the flowers creep no more [02:36.94]Round my cheerless cabin door [02:39.77]Where the silver Colorado wends it's way
