[Verse 1]
GFancy brings a thought to me of a fClower that's bright and Gfair,
CIts grace and Gbeauty A7both combined make the thought more Drare;
GJust like a maiden that I knew who sChared my happy lGot,
CWhere we parted , Gwhen she whispered "Dyou'll forget me nGot."
[Chorus]
GShe's fragrant and, she's Ccharming like the lily in thGe pond,
CTime is passing Gswiftly by, of A7her I am so Dfond;
GThe daisies and primroses are Cblooming 'round the sGpot,
CWhere we parted, Gwhen she whispered, "DYou'll forget me Gnot."
[Verse 2]
GWe met I really don't know when, Cbut still it's just the sGame,
CFor love grows in the cGity streets as A7well as in the Dlane;
GI gently clasped her tiny hand one glaCnce at me she Gshot,
CShe dropped her flower, I Gpicked it up - 'twas the Dsweet forget me Gnot.
[Chorus]
GShe's fragrant and, she's Ccharming like the lily in thGe pond,
CTime is passing Gswiftly by, of A7her I am so Dfond;
GThe daisies and primroses are Cblooming 'round the sGpot,
CWhere we parted, Gwhen she whispered, "DYou'll forget me Gnot."
[Verse 3]
GAnd then there came a happy time when sComething that I Gsaid,
CCaused her lips to muGrmur, "Yes", and A7shortly we were Dwed;
GThere is a house down in the Clane and a tiny garden Gplot,
CWhere grows a flower, GI know it well, iDt's the sweet forget me Gnot.
[Chorus]
GShe's fragrant and, she's Ccharming like the lily in thGe pond,
CTime is passing Gswiftly by, of A7her I am so Dfond;
GThe daisies and primroses are Cblooming 'round the sGpot,
CWhere we parted, Gwhen she whispered, "DYou'll forget me Gnot."
[Outro]
 CWhere wGe partedD, when sGhe whispered, "You'll forget me not."
