G C
1. It was long, long ago in the moonlight,
G D7
We were sitting on the banks of the stream,
G C
When you whispered so sweetly, “I love you.”
G D7 G
As the waters murmured a tune.
G C
Chorus: Oh they tell me your love’s like a flower,
G D7
In the spring time it blossoms so fair;
G C
In the cold wind it withers away dear,
G D7 G
And they tell me that’s the way of your love.

2. I remember the night, little darling,
We were talking of days gone by;
When you told me you always would love me,
And your love for me would never die.
Chorus: Oh they tell me your love’s like a flower,…

3. It was spring when you whispered these words, dear,
The flowers were all blooming so fair;
But today as the snow falls around me,
I can see that your love isn’t there.
