I have forgotten the lyrics so would someone send them to, me? In this case, flowers are used in a romantic way, but of course, they can also represent sadness and death as in Eric Bogle's "No Man's Land" What other songs incorporate flowers for either romance or sadness.? |

(Sheet music is not viewable on sheet music sites, though numerous lyric sites have the lyrics and there are plenty of recordings available). Mick MOONLIGHT AND ROSES (Ben Black, Edwin H Le Mare, Neil Moret) Moonlight and roses Bring wonderful memories of you My heart reposes In beautiful thoughts, so true June light discloses Love's golden dreams sparkling anew Moonlight and roses Bring memories of you June light discloses Love's golden dreams sparkling anew Moonlight and roses Bring memories of you |

07 Feb 19 - 04:20 PM (#3975358) Subject: Lyr Add: MOONLIGHT AND ROSES (Lemare/Black/Moret) From: Jim Dixon You can hear 2 verses and the chorus at the Internet Archive. My transcription: MOONLIGHT AND ROSES As recorded by John McCormack, on Victrola 1092-A, 1925. 1. When vesper bells are ringing, I hear sweet voices singing As evening shadows fall. It’s then my heart grows fonder, As through the flow’rs I wander, With thoughts so true, dear, Always of you, dear. CHORUS: Moonlight and roses Bring wonderful mem’ries of you. My heart reposes In beautiful thoughts so true. June light discloses Love’s olden* dreams sparkling anew. Moonlight and roses Bring mem’ries of you. 2. I oft recall our meeting, Our tender loving greeting. Your smile still haunts my dreams. And then, alas, we parted. You left me broken-hearted, But still I yearn, dear, For your return, dear. [* Some singers sing “golden” but I think “olden” is correct.] |
