love me and that your heart is still true,

when the spring roses are
blooming, then I'll come back to you.

E
memories of loved ones are
waiting, each happy home and you.

Absence makes my heart fonder,
is it the same with you ?

Are you still happy, I wonder,
or do you feel lonesome, too ?

and the birds and flowers they
have gone to rest,

when the spring roses are
blooming, then I'll come back to you.
