Lyrics
Ah, love is so sweet in the springtime
When blossoms are fragrant in May
No years that are coming can bring time
To make me forget dear, this day
I’ll love you in life’s gray December
The same as I love you today
My heart, ever young, will remember
The thrill it knew, that day in May
Refrain
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Will you love me ever?
Will you remember this day
When we were happy in May
My dearest one?
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Though our paths may sever
To life’s last faint ember
Will you remember
Springtime, Lovetime, May?
