Great Big Sea - Graceful & Charming (Sweet Forget Me Not) Lyrics

fancy brings a thought to me
of flower so bright and fair,
grace and beauty both combined
to make that far more rare

like a maiden that I know
who shared my happy lot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

shes graceful and shes charming
like the lillies in the pond
time is flowing swiftly by
of her I am so fond
the roses and the daisies
they bloom around the spot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

we met I really dont know where
I guess its all the same
love grows in a village green
as well as in a lane

I gently took her by the hand
and a glance at me shot
she dropped a flower, I picked it up
it was a sweet forget me not

shes graceful and shes charming
like the lillies in the pond
time is flowing swiftly by
of her I am so fond
the roses and the daisies
they bloom around the spot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

(instrumental part)

then there came a happy time
when something that I said
caused her lips to murmer yes
and shortly we were wed

now theres a cottage by a lane
with a tiny garden spot
there grows a flower I know it well
its the sweet forget me not

shes graceful and shes charming
like the lillies in the pond
time is flowing swiftly by
of her I am so fond
the roses and the daisies
they bloom around the spot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

you'll forget me not
