It was long long ago in the moonlight
We were sittin on the banks of the stream
When you whispered so sweetly, I love you
And the waters murmured a tune
Oh they tell me you love is like a flower
In the spring time blossom so fair
In the fall when it withers away dear
And they tell me that's the way of your love
It was spring when you whispered these words dear
The flowers were all bloomin so fair
But today as the snow falls around us
I can see that you love is not there
Oh they tell me you love is like a flower
In the spring time blossom so fair
In the fall when it withers away dear
And they tell me that's the way of your love
I remember the night little darlin
We were talkin of days gone by
When you told me you always would love me
That your love for me would never die
Oh they tell me you love is like a flower
In the spring time blossom so fair
In the fall when it withers away dear
And they tell me that's the way of your love
