[Verse 1]
G C G
Fancy brings a thought to me of a flower that's bright and fair,
C G A7 D
Its grace and beauty both combined make the thought more rare;
G C G
Just like a maiden that I knew who shared my happy lot,
C G D G
Where we parted , when she whispered "you'll forget me not."
[Chorus]
G C G
She's fragrant and, she's charming like the lily in the pond,
C G A7 D
Time is passing swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
G C G
The daisies and primroses are blooming 'round the spot,
C G D G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
[Verse 2]
G C G
We met I really don't know when, but still it's just the same,
C G A7 D
For love grows in the city streets as well as in the lane;
G C G
I gently clasped her tiny hand one glance at me she shot,
C G D G
She dropped her flower, I picked it up - 'twas the sweet forget me not.
[Chorus]
G C G
She's fragrant and, she's charming like the lily in the pond,
C G A7 D
Time is passing swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
G C G
The daisies and primroses are blooming 'round the spot,
C G D G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
[Verse 3]
G C G
And then there came a happy time when something that I said,
C G A7 D
Caused her lips to murmur, "Yes", and shortly we were wed;
G C G
There is a house down in the lane and a tiny garden plot,
C G D G
Where grows a flower, I know it well, it's the sweet forget me not.
[Chorus]
G C G
She's fragrant and, she's charming like the lily in the pond,
C G A7 D
Time is passing swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
G C G
The daisies and primroses are blooming 'round the spot,
C G D G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
[Outro]
C G D G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
