I remember my grandmother singing this song by the fire while she knotted. She loved and I love it too because it brings back such lovely memories of times gone by.

Great performance, but I think Joan Morris and WIlliam Bolcom do a better job (also on youtube). They follow the original score scrupulously, don't overdo the rubatos and Morris seems feel the words even more deeply than McCormack.

Now that is a BEAUTIFUL voice - beyond comparison even the best. My father loved this mans voice as do I. 

John Baldwin

Wonderful it brings tears to my eyes, my dear dad used to sing this to my mum sitting by the fireside in the forties.

I love this old song. It's a favorite of mine. I like just about anything that John McCormack sings. Years ago, I had a cassette of his with all the best irish songs on it. I played it so much that it finally wore out. That broke my heart!

Love's Old Sweet Song (Music by J.L. Molloy; words by G. Clifton Bingham) Once in the dear dead days beyond recall,When on the world the mists began to fall,Out of the dreams that rose in happy throngLow to our hearts Love sang an old sweet song;And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam,Softly it wove itself into our dream. Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,And the flick'ring shadows softly come and go,Tho' the heart be weary, sad the day and long,Still to us at twilight comes Love's old song,comes Love's old sweet song. Even today we hear Love's song of yore,Deep in our hearts it dwells forevermore.Footsteps grow confident, ardent grows the way,Still we can hear it at the close of day.So till the end, when life's dim shadows fall,Love will be found the sweetest song of all.Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,And the flick'ring shadows softly come and go,Tho' the heart be weary, sad the day and long,Still to us at twilight comes Love's old song,comes Love's old sweet song.

My dad used to play this at family sing-alongs - a particular favorite of both grandmothers.

John O'Connor

An exquisite singer and we are privileged to hear him singing, his phrasing is perfect

I have been finding songs I remember my gran listening to when I was young, like this one. It brings tears to my eyes too :)

Eric Towser

I can't think of this song without thinking of Joyce's '' Ulysses '' and Molly Bloom.

John Austin

With words and music the very best of their type and a singer who could touch the heart, what more can I ask of three and a half minutes of listening? - John Austin, Australia

Tom Smith

At 83 I am so pleased to discover this site. I remember these lovely songs and music from when I was a young child. Brings tears to my eyes to hear them all again. Not that modern "songs" and "music" do not bring tears to my eyes.............but that's because they are painful NOT beautiful.

Thumbs up if James Joyce's 'Ulysses' brought you here.

This was the first McCormack record I bought new in about 1955. Kathleen Mavourneen on the other side is also a treasure.

Leonard Dixon

Wonderful for me in my melancholic mood - perfect.

I see that Count McCormack has a Victor Orthophonic Credenza Victrola in his listening room. So do I. Mine is a 1926 model, with the more common 4-doors variation-just like his. The very earliest versions had 2 big doors that swung open to expose the speaker grille over the horn. I've played my own copy of this song on my Credenza-marvelous presence Mac has on it(even though midrange sounds are a little tubby & pronounced on these machines).
