Where The Sweet Forget-Me-Nots Remember 1929

There's a garden far away
where the sunlight beams
where my old time sweetheart
Help me dream my dreams
here beneath a sky of grey
Oh how blue I'd 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 cozy little spot
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
Why should I pine
because the sun doesn't shine
when I'll get the sweetest kiss
I ever got
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
I mean to spend my days
where fresh bouquets decorate the old room.
Ev'ry 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 forgetmenots remember.

Why should I sigh
if there's no blue in the sky
I'll be happy in a cozy little spot
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
Why should I pine
because the sun doesn't shine
when I'll get the sweetest kiss
I ever got
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
I mean to spend my days
where fresh bouquets decorate the old room.
Ev'ry 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 forgetmenots remember.

In the not so long ago
Happiness was mine
Love was like the roses
Kisses like the wine,
What have I today but woe
Nothing turns out right,
But my silver lining
will soon be shining bright.

Why should I sigh
if there's no blue in the sky
I'll be happy in a cozy little spot
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
Why should I pine
because the sun doesn't shine
when I'll get the sweetest kiss
I ever got
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
I mean to spend my days
where fresh bouquets decorate the old room.
Ev'ry 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 forgetmenots remember.

Why should I sigh
if there's no blue in the sky
I'll be happy in a cozy little spot
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
Why should I pine
because the sun doesn't shine
when I'll get the sweetest kiss
I ever got
where the sweet forgetmenots remember.
I mean to spend my days
where fresh bouquets decorate the old room.
Ev'ry 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 forgetmenots remember.
