My life is just a garden filled with dreams
Each dream a flower of yesterday
I gather all the flowers in my dreams
And tie them all in one bouquet

I see a violet we picked when first we met
In my bouquet of memories
I see among the lot my sweet forgetmenot
In my bouquet of memories
I kiss each blossom rare when night appears
I keep them fresh and fair with lonely tears
I ask my heart each morn
Why must there be a thorn
In my bouquet of memories

I see a violet we picked when first we met
In my bouquet of memories
I see among the lot my sweet forgetmenot
In my bouquet of memories
I kiss each blossom rare when night appears
I keep them fresh and fair with lonely tears
I ask my heart each morn
Why must there be a thorn
In my bouquet of memories

I count the petals in my dream bouquet
Just like you'd count your rosary
I kiss each petal in my dream bouquet
And all our dreams come back to me

I see a violet we picked when first we met
In my bouquet of memories
I see among the lot my sweet forgetmenot
In my bouquet of memories
I kiss each blossom rare when night appears
I keep them fresh and fair with lonely tears
I ask my heart each morn
Why must there be a thorn
In my bouquet of memories

I see a violet we picked when first we met
In my bouquet of memories
I see among the lot my sweet forgetmenot
In my bouquet of memories
I kiss each blossom rare when night appears
I keep them fresh and fair with lonely tears
I ask my heart each morn
Why must there be a thorn
In my bouquet of memories
