No. 6 - Duet - Elsie and Fred
Elsie: | You remember the waltz that they played on that night of the ball. |
Fred: | On that night of the ball. |
Elsie: | How it thrilled as it filled ev'ry heart with delight in the hall. |
Fred: | Ev'ry heart with delight in the hall. |
Elsie: | It suggested the strains of an old lullaby. |
Fred: | And it brought to the lips just the touch of a sigh, |
Elsie: | And it went, let me see, much like this... |
Fred: | I too recall... |
Both: | Farewell, my love, farewell. With you my last words dwell. Naught but a few faded roses Could my fond secret tell, My heart was ever light Until we met tonight. Then came the parting knell of our last farewell. |
