Verse 1

G                           C
It was long long ago in the moonlight
        G                           D7
We were sitting on the banks of the stream
         G                      C
When you whispered so sweetly I love you
        G      D7         G
And the waters murmured a tune

Verse 2

                                   C
Oh they tell me you love is like a flower
       G                      D7
In the spring time blossom so fair
       G                    C
In the fall when it withers away dear
         G                  D7          G
And they tell me that's the way of your love

Verse 3

                            C
I remember the night little darling
        G                    D7
We were talking of days gone by
         G                        C
When you told me you always would love me
          G        D7             G
That your love for me would never die

Verse 2

                                   C
Oh they tell me you love is like a flower
       G                      D7
In the spring time blossom so fair
       G                    C
In the fall when it withers away dear
         G                  D7          G
And they tell me that's the way of your love

Verse 4

                                       C
It was spring when you whispered these words dear
    G                            D7
The flowers were all blooming so fair
    G                              C
But today as the snow falls around us
      G             D7          G
I can see that your love is not there

Verse 2

                                   C
Oh they tell me you love is like a flower
       G                      D7
In the spring time blossom so fair
       G                    C
In the fall when it withers away dear
         G                  D7          G
And they tell me that's the way of your love
