Grandpa’s been singing snatches of “Only A Year Ago” and it’s great to find the violin and cello scores online…
Only A Year Ago
There is a song my heart remembers,
Sung in a twilight past.
There is a melody I treasure,
Long as my life shall last.Tis but a chord of broken music:
Golden and sweet and low.Do you remember?
Twas in September,
only a year ago.Sad is my world without you dearest,
Life is no longer love.
Clouds in the heaven darken slowly,
all of my bright sky above.Sing but again that song of gladness,
bidding my sorrow go.You were the dearest,
sweetest, sincerest,
only a year ago.
