Lyrics
1. When the sun sinks to rest
In the far distant west
And with longing I gaze into your eyes, dear
Will your love be as true
As your eyes are of blue?
Give me one sweet flower to say you are near
Chorus
Only a bunch of sweet violets
Each one brings me bliss
For within their heart, dear
Lies a tender kiss
Give me your heart with your kisses, dear
Say you love but me
Be my own forever
And I’ll be happy
2. Sometimes dreams come to me
And your sweet face I see
Smiling up through the violet so blue, dear
And I long for the day
When the dreams fade away
Bringing me my sweetheart, so faithful and true
