A Little White Gardenia
Whispers of Love: A Little White Gardenia's Secret Message
Lyrics
For I bring a little white gardenia
Presenting a small white gardenia
As refreshing as a day in May
Refreshing and reminiscent of a pleasant day in May
You may wear it if you care
Offering the flower for you to wear if you wish
Or toss it away
Or discarding it if you prefer
If you look into this white gardenia
Contained within this white gardenia is an unspoken message
There's a message there I dare not say
A message too delicate or intimate to be openly expressed
That I'll let this little white gardenia convey.
Allowing this small white gardenia to communicate that message
Who knows tomorrow we may be
Uncertainty about the future, possibly being together or apart
Together or so far apart
Being together or distanced in the future is unknown
Take this token of my love
Giving this as a symbol of affection
Cherish it and keep it close to your heart
Encouraging the recipient to value and hold it close
If our paths should ever cross again dear
Should our paths cross again in the future
Accidentally, or by fate designed
Whether coincidentally or as fate dictates
If you wear a little white gardenia
If you wear a small white gardenia
I'll know you are mine.
It signifies a connection or claim
Who knows tomorrow we may be
Similar to line 10, uncertainty about the future
Together or so far apart
The unknown status of being together or apart
Take this token of my love
Presenting this as a token of affection again
Cherish it and keep it close to your heart
Emphasizing the importance of cherishing it dearly
If our paths should ever cross again dear
A repetition of line 15
Accidentally, or by fate designed
A repetition of line 16
If you wear a little white gardenia
A repetition of line 17
I'll know you are mine.
Reiterating the significance of the white gardenia indicating a connection
