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 cannot 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 cannot 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 promised, when the roses bloom again.
