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
