Take away the scent of flowers

Cover up the sky of blue

Close my ears to tender love songs

They remind me too much of you

Hide young lovers' warm embraces

Keep stars and moonlight from my view

Let me forget there are such places

They remind me too much of you

Must I evermore be haunted

Day after day my whole life through

By the memory of each moment

That I spent alone with you

If these lovely things don't hurt you

Our love just wasn't meant to be

But please come back to me my darling

If they remind you too much of me
