Sweet Forget Me Not

Another tune from the Fogo Island Accordion Group CD. Key of D

Fancy brings a thought to me of a flower so bright and fair,
Grance and beauty, both combine to make that far more rare
Like a maiden that I know who shared my happy life,
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not".

She's graceful and she's charming like the lilies in the pond
Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond,
The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not".

We met I really don't know where, I guess it's all the same
Love grows in a village green as well as in a lane
I gently took her by the hand and a glance at me she shot,
She dropped a flower, I picked it up, it was a sweet forget-me-not.

She's graceful and she's charming like the lilies in the pond
Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond,
The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not".

And then there came a happy time when something that I said
Caused her lips to murmur "yes", shortly we were wed.
Now there's a cottage by a lane and a tiny garden spot
There grows a flower, I know it well, it's the sweet forget-me-not.

She's graceful and she's charming like the lilies in the pond
Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond,
The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not,
You'll forget me not".

Great job. I would love to learn how to play the accordian!

@thunt1974 I started about three years ago...Anyone can play if they put in the time...I'm hoping to be really good in another seven years:)

[alan4sure]

Pretty good, but what about the left hand buttons?

[labradornl]

I'm still trying to figure out the bass side of the accordion.
