It Was May

It was a Tuesday morning in May and as I awoke

I saw the sun against your fair face

It was the years loveliest smile

The breeze was fresh and throughout the garden linger the scent of roses

It was May and I cannot forget that we sang together

The more time passes the more I remember

The air was fresh and the song so sweet

Oh it was May

it was May

You sang "love of my heart

love of my heart

You are going far away

you are leaving me"

And I will count the hours

when will you return?

With nod I said

I will return when the roses bloom again

It was May and I cannot forget that we sang together

The more time passes the more I remember

The air was fresh and the song so sweet

Oh it was May

it was May

You sang "love of my heart

love of my heart

You are going far away

you are leaving me"

And I will count the hours

when will you return?

With nod I said

I will return when the roses bloom again

And I sang "love of my heart

the love of my heart

You are going far away

you are leaving me"

And I will count the hours when will you return

And you said

I will return when I hear your voice again

I will return

as promised

when the roses bloom again.
