Red leaves, faded and dead leaves
Seabirds flown
'Round me winter had found me
Sad and lone
Life seemed one long December
Skies were grey
Dearest, then I remember
One sweet day

June brought the roses so fragrant with dew
June brought the sunbeams
And when they peeped through
Songbirds were singing, melodies ringing
Bidding the world love anew
There in Love's garden my dreams all came true
I found a red rose, the fairest that grew
After the grey days, after the May days
June brought the roses and you.

June brought the roses so fragrant with dew
June brought the sunbeams
And when they peeped through
Songbirds were singing, melodies ringing
Bidding the world love anew
There in Love's garden my dreams all came true
I found a red rose, the fairest that grew
After the grey days, after the May days
June brought the roses and you.

Sad hours all will be glad hours
Come what may
New skies wonderful blue skies
Light my way
Winter shadows returning
Hold no fears
With Love's light ever burning
Through the years

June brought the roses so fragrant with dew
June brought the sunbeams
And when they peeped through
Songbirds were singing, melodies ringing
Bidding the world love anew
There in Love's garden my dreams all came true
I found a red rose, the fairest that grew
After the grey days, after the May days
June brought the roses and you.

June brought the roses so fragrant with dew
June brought the sunbeams
And when they peeped through
Songbirds were singing, melodies ringing
Bidding the world love anew
There in Love's garden my dreams all came true
I found a red rose, the fairest that grew
After the grey days, after the May days
June brought the roses and you.
