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
