The Sweet Forget-me-not

Fancy brings a thought to mind of a flower that's bright and fair
Its grace and beauty both combine in brighter jewel more rare
Just like a maiden that I know once shared my happy lot
She whispered when we parted last "Oh, you'll forget me not"

She's graceful and she's charming like the lily in the pond
Time is flying swiftly by of her I am so fond
The roses and the daisies are blooming 'round the spot
Where we parted, when she whispered "You'll forget me not"

We met I really don't know where but still it's just the same
For love grows in the city streets as well as in the lane
I gently clasped her tiny hand - one glance at me she shot
She dropped her flower, I picked it up - 'twas the sweet forget-me-not

And then there came a happy time when something that I said
Caused her lips to murmur "Yes" and shortly we were wed
There is a house' down in the lane and a tiny garden plot
Where grows a flower, I know it well, it's the sweet forget-me-not

Time is flying swiftly by of her I am so fond
The roses and the daisies are blooming 'round the spot
Where we parted, when she whispered "You'll forget me not"
When we parted, where she whispered "You'll forget me not"
