Lyrics Hoagy Carmichael

Hoagy Carmichael

One Morning In May

One morning in May, don't forget, dear

That one wonderful day when we met, dear

The world over was blue clover

And hearts carefree and gay

One morning in May, oh, the rapture

Tonight darling, I pray to recapture

Just one hour, just one flower

From love's faded bouquet

Kisses that came with the flame of springtime

Burning your name in my heart

Precious to me like a rosary

Now that we're apart

One morning in May to remember

The love smolders away to an ember

And dreams perish, we'll still cherish

That one, one morning in May

The world over was blue clover

And hearts carefree and gay

One hour, just one flower

From loves faded bouquet

Kisses that came with the flame of springtime

Burning your name in my heart

They're so precious to me like a rosary

Now that we're apart

One morning in May to remember

The love smolders away to an ember

And dreams perish, we'll still cherish

That one, one morning in May
