Foster & Allen - The Old Rustic Bridge By The Mill lyrics

I'm thinking tonight Of the o-old rustic bridge That bends o'er the murmuri-ing stream It was there Maggie dear With our hearts full of cheer We strayed 'neath the moo-oon's gentle beam 'Twas there I first met you The light in your eyes Awoke in my heart a sweet thrill Though now far away Still my thoughts fondly stray To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill Beneath it a stream gently rippled Around it the bir-irds loved to trill Though now far away Still my thoughts fondly stray To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill I keep in my memory Our love of the past With me it's as bright as of old For deep in my heart It was planted to last In absence it ne-ever grows cold I think of you darlin' When lonely at night And when all is pea-eaceful and still My heart wanders back In a dream of delight To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill Beneath it a stream gently rippled Around it the bir-irds loved to trill Though now far away Still my thoughts fondly stray To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill
