NARCISSUS
Nevin / Heath

as recorded by
Ted Heath & His Music
(vocal - Reggie Goff)
1949


A faded flower, but memory lingers on,
Of one sweetheart in springtime of days now gone.
I can't forget the night we met,
The moon in splendour shone on our tender love, dear, and -

The sweet perfume of narcissus filled the air,
This fragrant bloom I placed in your shining hair.
How dear you were and lovely too;
I dreamed of narcissus, memory of loveliness and of you!

How dear you were and lovely too;
I dreamed of narcissus, memory of loveliness and of you!
