It was a Tuesday morning in May And as I awoke, I saw the sun against your fair face It was the year's lovely smile The breeze was fresh and throughout the garden Lingered 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're going far away, you're leaving me And I will count the hours when will you return When that 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're going far away, you're leaving me And I will count the hours when will you return When that I said, I will return When the roses bloom again And I sang love of my heart, love of my heart You're going far away, you're 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
