Verse 1

G                            C
It was long, long ago in the moonlight
G                      D            G
We were sitting on the banks of the stream
G                                C
When you whispered so sweetly, I love you
G      D                 G
As the waters murmured a tune

Chorus

G                                   C
Oh they tell me your love is like a flower
G                             D
In the springtime blossoms so fair
G                            C
In the fall when it withers away dear
G                           D           G
And they tell me that's the way of your love

Verse 2

G
I remember the night, little darling
G
We were talking of days gone by
G
When you told me you always would love me
G
That your love for me would never die

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G
It was spring when you whispered these words dear
G
The flowers were all blooming so fair
G
But today as the snow falls around us
G
I can see that your love is not there
