I'm thinking tonight Of the old rustic bridge That bends over the murmuring stream It was there Maggie dear With our hearts full of cheer We strayed 'neath the moon's gentle beam
Beneath it a stream gently rippled Around it the birds loved to trill Though now far away Still my thoughts fondly stray To the old rustic bridge by the mill
'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 bridge by the mill
Beneath it a stream gently rippled Around it the birds loved to trill Though now far away Still my thoughts fondly stray To the old rustic bridge by the mill
