There's a garden far away, where the sunlight beams
There my old-time sweetheart helps me dream my dream
Here beneath a sky of grey, oh, how blue I be
Only for that garden, where love still waits for me

Why should I sigh if there's no blue in the sky
I'll be happy in a cosy little spot
Where the sweet forget-me-nots remember

Why should I pine because the sun doesn't shine
When I'll get the sweetest kiss I ever got
Where the sweet forget-me-nots remember

I mean to spend my days where fresh bouquets
Decorate the old room
Every blossom in bloom
Double-daring the gloom

So why should I wait because my rainbow is late
When I know I'll meet the one I love a lot
Where the sweet forget-me-nots remember
