It was long, long ago in the moonlight

We were sitting on the banks of the stream

When you whispered so sweetly, I love you

As the waters murmured a tune



Oh, they tell me your love is like a flower

In the springtime blossoms so fair

In the fall then they wither away, dear

And they tell me that's the way of your love



I remember the night, little darling

We were talking of days gone by

When you told me you always would love me

That for me your love would never die



It was spring when you whispered these words, dear

The flowers were all blooming so fair

But today as the snow falls around us

I can see that your love is not there
