and though you say that you'll be mine
i hear another voice in time
and that voice plays a bitter song
says i will stay but i won't stay long
but who's to say who's true and who is not
with eyes as blue as forget-me-nots
when first i held you to my breast
i would believe that east was west
i would believe that right was wrong
when first I heard your silken song
believe that false was true and cold was hot
with eyes as blue as forget-me-nots
and though you stayed when lilacs bloomed
within the waning april moon
and though you stayed 'till summer's end
there was no way to stay as friends
but who's to say this love was misbegot
with eyes as blue as forget-me-nots
and in the still light of the morn
you come to me in dreams forlorn
you come to me upon the wind
says those who stay are born to sin
and this I knew was true yet soon forgot
with eyes as blue as forget-me-nots
