Kismet

 

Songs

Tell Me, Tell Me, Evening Star

Tell me, Tell me Little Evening Star
Is the world as lovely as it seems,
Did some magic carpet from a-far
Bring this love from the land of my dreams?

Keep your light forever in his eyes,
Never let tomorrow break the spell
And when autumn breezes hear our sighs,
May our lips never say ”fare-thee-well”.

Keep him near, never far,
Ever near, Evening Star.

 

Willow in the Wind

Like the willow in the wind ever weeping,
Like the willow in the wind Moaning low,
So my heart weeps away never sleeping,
Weeps away like the night winds that blow.

Like a willow leaf
Love is ever brief!

Oh, the willow in the wind knows my sorrow,
Oh, the willow in the wind knows my plight,
For it sings of a loveless tomorrow
And it moans of a lonely tonight.

Like a willow leaf
Love will come to grief!

Only yesterday spring was here to stay,
But when dawn awoke Love lost it’s wonder and winter like thunder
broke.
Where’s that evening star?
And those summer skies?
Where is the love that was there in his eyes?

But the willow in the wind never answers,
Oh, the willow in the wind only sighs,
”Love is ever brief!”
Then the willow’s echo silently dies.
