Be Not Afraid

Now come, my dear
 And sit beside me here
 And listen to the tales I tell
 Of long forgotten years
 Now don't be afraid
 No, be not all afraid
 When I tell you of the ghosts
 That wander through these halls each night
 They waltz in time
 In a time gone by
 Where boys all offer out their hands
 When the girls go dancing by
 But I was told many years ago
 The boys don't like the good girls no more
 Yes, I was told a long, long time ago
 The boys don't like the good girls no more
 It used to be
 When I was just a girl
 She'd come and tuck me in at night
 And whisper me these words-
 "Oh if I die
 Before I wake
 I'll pray the Lord so high above
 My weary soul to take
 No, never you mind
 I'll be near while you sleep
 So go to bed, and rest your head
 And pray the Lord to keep."
 But I was told by all these lonely souls
 There's no such thing as heaven no more
 Yes I was told by all these lonesome souls
 There's no such thing as heaven anymore
 So come, my dear
 And sit beside me here
 And play for me, along these keys
 The alm of my own chin(?)
 The tune that I sing
 The tune, this song
 It echoes on through empty halls
 Where a song had once begun
 We waltz, in time
 Where the time gone by
 Where boys all offered out their hands
 When girls went dancing by
 But I was told many years ago
 The boys don't like the good girls no more
 Yes, I was told a long long time ago
 The boys don't like the good girls no more
 The boys don't like the good girls no more
