Lyrics

  1. 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

Refrain:
I see a violet we picked when first we met
In my bouquet of memories
I see among the lot my sweet forget-me-not
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

  1. 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
