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
