Lyrics
It was a Tuesday morning in May and as I awoke
Reflecting on a Tuesday morning in May upon waking up
I saw the sun against your fair face
Observing the sun shining on the person's fair face
It was the years loveliest smile
Describing the person's smile as the loveliest of the year
The breeze was fresh and throughout the garden linger the scent of roses
Noticing a fresh breeze and the lingering scent of roses in the garden
It was May and I cannot forget that we sang together
Recalling a shared singing experience in May
The more time passes the more I remember
Expressing a deepening memory of the singing as time passes
The air was fresh and the song so sweet
Recalling the freshness of the air and the sweetness of the song
Oh it was May, it was May
Affirming the significance of the moment, emphasizing "It was May"
You sang "love of my heart, love of my heart
Quoting the sung words: "love of my heart, love of my heart"
You are going far away, you are leaving me"
Describing a departure and expressing the pain of separation
And I will count the hours, when will you return?
Pledging to count the hours until the return of the departed person
With nod I said, I will return when the roses bloom again
Promising a return when the roses bloom again
It was May and I cannot forget that we sang together
Reiterating the memory of singing together in May
The more time passes the more I remember
Strengthening the memory as time elapses
The air was fresh and the song so sweet
Recalling the fresh air and the sweetness of the song
Oh it was May, it was May
Reaffirming the importance of the moment, repeating "It was May"
You sang "love of my heart, love of my heart
Repeating the words: "love of my heart, love of my heart"
You are going far away, you are leaving me"
Expressing the pain of separation and the longing for the return
And I will count the hours, when will you return?
Committing to counting the hours until the person's return
With nod I said, I will return when the roses bloom again
Reiterating the promise to return when the roses bloom again
And I sang "love of my heart, the love of my heart
Adding personal singing: "love of my heart, the love of my heart"
You are going far away, you are leaving me"
Expressing the pain of separation once more
And I will count the hours when will you return
Committing to counting the hours until the awaited return
And you said, I will return when I hear your voice again
Receiving assurance of return upon hearing the singer's voice
I will return, as promised, when the roses bloom again.
Reiterating the promise to return when the roses bloom again
