Title: Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics - The Sweet Forget-Me-Not

Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk The Sweet Forget-Me-Not 
The Sweet Forget-Me-Not 
Fancy brings a thought to mind Of a flower that's bright and fair 
Its grace and beauty both combine A brighter jewel more rare 
Just like a maiden that I know Who shared my happy lot 
She whispered when we parted last "Oh, you'll forget me not"
 She's graceful and she's charming Like the lily in the pond Time is flying swiftly by Of her I am so fond The roses and the daisies Are blooming 'round the spot Where we parted, when she whispered "You'll forget me not" 
We met, I really don't know where But still it's just the same 
For love grows in the city streets As well as in the lane 
I gently clasped her tiny hand One glance at me she shot 
She dropped her flower, I picked it up 'Twas the sweet forget-me-not 
And then there came a happy time When something that I said 
Caused her lips to murmur "Yes" And shortly we were wed 
There is a cott' down in the land And a tiny plot 
Where grows a flower, I know it well It's the sweet forget-me-not
