Where The Sweet Forget-Me-Nots Remember

Lyric: Mort Dixon

Verse 1:

There's a garden far away
Where the sunlight beams,
Where my old-time sweetheart
Helped me dream my dreams;
Here beneath a sky of gray,
Oh, how blue I'd be,
Only for that garden
Where love still waits for me;

Chorus:

Why should I sigh
If there's no moon in the sky?
I'll be happy in a cozy little spot
Where the sweet forget-me-nots remember.
Why should I pine
Because the sun doesn't shine?
When I'll get the sweetest kiss I ever got
Where the sweet forget-me-nots remember.
I mean to spend my days
Where fresh bouquets
Decorate the old room,
Ev'ry blossom in bloom
Double-daring the gloom;
So, why should I wait
Because my rainbow is late?
When I know I'll meet the one I love a lot
Where the sweet forget-me-nots remember.

Verse 2:

In the not so long ago,
Happiness was mine,
Love was like the roses,
Kisses like the wine;
What have I today but woe,
Nothing turns out right,
But my silver lining,
Will soon be shining bright;

[Chorus]
