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