Hindustan Year 1918 Words and Music by Oliver G. Wallace and Harold Weeks Forster Music Publisher Inc. Chicago, Illinois Share this song with friends

First Verse Camel trappings jingle, harp strings sweetly tingle, with a sweet voice mingle, underneath the stars; singing memories are bringing, temple bells are ringing calling me a far. Second Verse Shades of night are falling, nightingales are calling, every heart enthralling, underneath the stars; Sighing, like the night wind dying, soft my heart is crying for my love afar. Chorus Hindustan, where we stopped to rest our tired caravan, Hindustan, where the painted peacock spread his fan, Hindustan, where the purple sunbird flashed across the sand, Hindustan, where I met her and the world began.

First Verse Many dreams I dreamt, many days I spent, by the golden gate away out west, flowers all year 'round every where are found, there I left the ones that I love best.

First Verse A pretty flower grows along old Broadway, A mid'st the throng, gay life and song I found her drooping there, My heart went out to her I met on Broadway, A faded little rose, beneath the white light's glare: Second Verse I think about the rose I saw on Broadway, Her listless face, her trembling gaze, Beneath the starry sky, I'm praying for a little rose on Broadway, Her sad and bitter tears, In mem'ry will be nigh: Chorus Broadway Rose, there's a tear in your eye, Broadway Rose, seems I oft' hear you sigh, though you wear fancy clothes and you show silken hose, you're alone, as they all pass you by, Broadway Rose, hide your cares in a smile for to you tears have gone out of style still at heart you're a gem, though the whole world condemn no one knows of your woes, Broadway Rose.

At The Gate Of The Palace Of Dreams Year 1912 Words by Chas Baer Music by Johann C. Schmid Jerome H. Remick and Co. New York Detroit Share this song with friends

First Verse From the end of the world you come to me, while stars their vigil keep, when the toil and moil of a dreary day, has wearied me to sleep. Second Verse Every flower in the far off land of dreams, must vanish with the morn; but you'll blush and bloom in this heart of mine, a rose without a thorn. Chorus Then we meet at the gate of the palace of dreams, that opes with a golden key, at the edge of the world where the love star beams, beams a welcome for you and for me; where every breeze is a winged perfume each flower a jewel seems, and the light in your eyes that I prize never dies, at the gate of the palace of dreams.
