The sheet music:
Lyrics
Hearts may flower for an hour
Tho’ they die in a day
Lips may kiss, blind with bliss
Ere they learn to betray
Light Love, smiling, untrue
Bright Love, what would you do
If I give my Love to you before I wander away?
Refrain
Never try to bind me
Never hope to know
Take me as you find me
Love and let me go
Tho’ the loves we leave behind us
Change and fade away
Never mind, you may be mine today
