One morning in May, don't forget, dear That one wonderful day when we met, dear The world over was blue clover And hearts carefree and gay One morning in May, oh, the rapture Tonight darling, I pray to recapture Just one hour, just one flower From love's faded bouquet Kisses that came with the flame of springtime Burning your name in my heart Precious to me like a rosary Now that we're apart One morning in May to remember The love smolders away to an ember And dreams perish, we'll still cherish That one, one morning in May The world over was blue clover And hearts carefree and gay One hour, just one flower From loves faded bouquet Kisses that came with the flame of springtime Burning your name in my heart They're so precious to me like a rosary Now that we're apart One morning in May to remember The love smolders away to an ember And dreams perish, we'll still cherish That one, one morning in May
