a 1922 popular song
words and music by Edna J. Allen Phillips
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Tonight with twilight falling
My heart to you is calling
A message I would send so true
I’ll go and gather flowers
Where we’ve spent many hours
Then send these lovely messengers to you
Chorus
Blossoms so rare for you dear
Blossoms that tell of spring cheer
And bring a song of true love
Right from my heart to you
Pansies for thought I’m sending
Roses for love unending
And violets that breathe the trust
That makes of life eternal spring
- While drinking in their fragrance
I long for your dear presence
And sigh to be a rose near you
Then see in sweet enchantment
Long years of real contentment
For our dearest wish is coming true
