The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
That you no longer care;
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share
Ours was a love song
That seemed constant as the moon,
Ending in a strange, mournful tune;
And all about me,
They know you have departed without me
And we wonder why,
The breeze and I
The breeze andI
