Fingerprints Upon the Windowpane

歌詞

I had opened wide the shutters of the long deserted room And a flood of golden sunshine chased away the dreary gloom While gazing 'round with tenderness where baby last had laid I chance to see it's fingerprints upon the windowpane How the silent tear drops started falling Foolish tears that I knew were in vain But my heart forgot it's pains as I kissed away the stains Kiss those fingerprints off the windowpane Still the empty crib was standing in it's old accustomed place But from 'neath the little blanket peeked no precious infant face How I longed to _______ but angels form one more sweet kiss obtained From the rosy lips that had pressed against the windowpane Oh my heart seemed almost breaking as I gathered from the floor Here a shoe and there a stocking that our little darling wore And I could not though I loved the room one moment more remain Where those snowy hands had left their print upon the windowpane How the silent tear drops were falling Foolish tears that I knew were in vain Still my heart forgot it's pains as I kissed away the stains Kiss those fingerprints from off the windowpane
