Words by Lew Brown

The sheet music:
Lyrics
- A Rose and a Lily once bloomed side by side
And they loved most tenderly
Till the Lily once met a sweet Violet
And the Rose said, “You’re drifting from me”
Refrain:
Something tells me you’ll forget me
Something tells me you won’t care
Something tells me you’ll regret me
When some other flower’s there
Something tells me you’ll deceive me
And that we will have to part
Something tells me you will grieve me
Something tells me you will break my heart
- The Lily came back to the garden one day
It came back to say “Goodbye”
The Rose never spoke, her heart slowly broke
And the birds seemed to echo her cry
