Lyrics

One day when we were young
One wonderful morning in May
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day
Sweet songs of spring were sung
And music was never so gay
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day
You told me you loved me
And held me close to your heart
We laughed then, we cried then
Then came the time to part
When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day
And held me close to your heart
Then came the time to part
When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day
