Great Big Sea - Graceful & Charming (Sweet Forget-Me-Not) lyrics

Fancy brings a thought to me of a flower so bright and fair,

Grance and beauty, both combine to make that far more rare

Like a maiden that I know who shared my happy life,

Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not".

She's graceful and she's charming like the lillies in the pond

Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond,

The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot

Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not".

We met I really don't know where, I guess it's all the same

Love grows in a village green as well as in a lane

I gently took her by the hand and a glance at me she shot,

She dropped a flower, I picked it up, it was a sweet forget-me-not.

She's graceful and she's charming like the lillies in the pond

Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond,

The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot

Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not".

And then there came a happy time when something that I said

Caused her lips to murmur "yes", shortly we were wed.

Now there's a cottage by a lane and a tiny garden spot

There grows a flower, I know it well, it's the sweet forget-me-not.

She's graceful and she's charming like the lillies in the pond

Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond,

The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot

Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not,

You'll forget me not".
