Another one with a similar title, from the sheet music at Maine Music Box:


MEET ME, SWEET KATHLEEN, IN HONEYSUCKLE TIME
Words by Robert F. Roden; music by J. Fred Helf.

1. By a quaint old fashioned garden I am straying
As the shadows lengthen at the twilight hour,
And it takes me back to one night in the gloaming
When I parted from New England's fairest flow'r.
Sweet Kathleen, I seem to see you in my dreaming
In the doorway where the honeysuckles climb,
Where I murmured as I kissed away the tear drops,
"I'll return, dear heart, in honeysuckle time."

CHORUS: When the honeysuckles once again are blooming,
We will hear the dear old church bell sweetly chime.
In the gloaming, oh, my darling,
Meet me, sweet Kathleen, in honeysuckle time.

2. It is honeysuckle time in old New England.
I am roaming through the scenes I love so dear.
Nature's fair tonight, but still my heart is sighing,
For the girl who said she'd meet me is not here.
In the doorway where I left her, no one's waiting.
In the little church the sweet bell sadly chimes,
And they seem to say in mem'ry of my darling,
"Meet me, sweet Kathleen, in honeysuckle time."
