Lyrics
- Gray September sky
Do you hear me sigh
While the last red rose of summer
Whispers its goodbye
Tiny fading rose
Ere the songbird goes
Send this message to the one
Who left me wond’ring why
Chorus:
Did you forget that day in May
Beside a garden wall
The dreams we dreamed
The while we watched
The springtime blossoms fall
Summer is ending
Do you recall
That day in May we dreamed of love
Beside garden wall
- Does that day in May
Seem as far away
For in dreams to me it seems
‘Twas only yesterday
When the ev’ning star
Beams where e’er you are
Does that nightwind whisper to you
All my heart would say?
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
