Lyrics
1. Do you recall that night in June when we first met?
Do you remember, love, the words we spoke?
Have you forgotten all the tender vows we made
In the silent, magical moonbeams’ light?
Gone are the golden dreams with summer roses
And all our tenderest vows were made but to be broken
Chorus
Song of songs, song of memory
And broken melody of love and life
Never more to me cant hat melody
Fill the heart with the joy once it knew
O night of bliss, night of June and love
Beneath the stars, amid the roses
O dream of delight that faded at dawn
O song of songs, O night of bliss
When you were my whole world of love
2. I hear the nightingale within that garden fair
Sing as he sang when you were by my side
I see your eyes reveal the love no words can tell
And I know ’twas destiny made you mine
Why should the robin sing when you are vanished
And every blossoming flower outlive our dearest vows? O
