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 can not 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 can not 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 promise
when the roses bloom again
