Lonely through the long weary day, Lonely in the gloaming i stray, And in fancy i am down where Someone's waiting for me. Down there where i long to be roaming, Noonlight tells me love's dream is o'er, Moonlight finds me wand'ring once more. Where the moon swings low, On the alamo, In a garden fair where roses grow. In the tender light of the summer night, I can see her wander to and fro. For she said i'll wait by the garden gate, On the night i said i love you so. And in all my dreams it seems i go, Where the moon swings low On the alamo.
