Lyrics

This is our tune
We used to love it
Funny how you forgot
Oh the magical thrill lingering still
In the music box gavotte
Many a time just dreaming of it
Missing you such a lot
I was happy again
Like we were then
With the music box gavotte
Couldn’t mistake that old world tinkle
Tho’ we know it’s not a work of art
Couldn’t mistake how your eyes twinkle
When you hold me to your heart
It’s our music for dreams
So dream and let me whisper
“Forget me not”
At a moment like this
We used to kiss
To the music box gavotte
