Words by B. G. De Sylva

Lyrics

1. It seems that life has been all wrong to me
Because your kisses don’t belong to me
One day in May life was a song to me
But now I’m lonely with my memories only

Chorus
I found you in Maytime
One sweet golden Maytime
Our love only started
Then we parted, broken-hearted
In life’s gray December
When love is an ember
I’ll always remember
Sweet Maytime with you

2. Although you are no longer near to me
In all my dreams you still appear to me
That day in May is ever dear to me
Though time is fleeting, I am still repeating
