Fancy brings a thought to mind of a flower that's bright and fair,
Its grace and beauty both combine in brighter jewel more rare;
Just like a maiden that I know once shared my happy lot,
She whispered when we parted last, "Oh, you'll forget me not."

She's graceful and she's charming like the lily in the pond,
Time is flying swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
The roses and the daisies are blooming 'round the spot,
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."

We met, I really don't know where, but still it's just the same,
For love grows in the city streets as well as in the lane;
I gently clasped her tiny hand - one glance at me she shot,
She dropped her flower, I picked it up - 'twas the sweet forget-me-not.

She's graceful and she's charming like the lily in the pond,
Time is flying swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
The roses and the daisies are blooming 'round the spot,
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."

And then there came a happy time when something that I said,
Caused her lips to murmur, "Yes", and shortly we were wed;
There is a house down in the lane and a tiny garden plot,
Where grows a flower, I know it well, it's the sweet forget-me-not.

She's graceful and she's charming like the lily in the pond,
Time is flying swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
The roses and the daisies are blooming 'round the spot,
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."

Time is flying swiftly by, of her I am so fond.
The roses and the daisies are blooming 'round the spot,
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
When we parted, where she whispered, "You'll forget me not."

She's graceful and she's charming like the lily in the pond,
Time is flying swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
The roses and the daisies are blooming 'round the spot,
When we parted, where she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
