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
