Forget Me Not

Story Behind The Song

Long, long ago in a land far, far away there lived a man who lived for music and a woman who loved that about him. They listened to music from sun up until sun down and took their love of music into clubs and on the road for anyone who would listen. She memorialized their relationship in a multitude of songs, one of them being this one. Sometimes you don't need words - you don't even need music (did I say that?). Sometimes all it takes are flowers to express what you can't otherwise say.

Lyrics

Forget Me Not

V1: Forget me not - that's the flower you would choose
The one you used to woo me when we were first so much in love
Written on our hearts, vows of love and devotion
So many other fish in the ocean we could have our pick of

Chorus:
I chose you, you chose me
That's how it is and always will be
Plant our future so
We can watch the garden grow

V2: Daisies you bring when you need some reassuring
When you need a little curing from a case of forget-me-not blues
Violets in spring, always daffodils at Easter
Maybe last but not least you bring me roses in all shapes and hues

Chorus:

V3: The sun on your back - the breeze that touches gently
Like the baby's breath you sent me when you sensed I needed more
Please come back soon and bring me some new flowers
I count the minutes and the hours till I hear your key in my door.

Chorus
