When the golden day has ended
and the evening shadows blue
start to steal down from the heavens
my heart is yours anew,
so don't forget my love, my cherie.
When the moon has clouded over
and the raindrops start to fall
and the breeze begins to whisper
of your love which is my all,
please don't forget my love, my cherie.
When you sailed across the ocean
to a land you never knew,
you had taken my devotion
and had promised me that you
would not forget my love, my cherie
And when the morning sun begins to climb
and church-bells start to peal their worship chime,
I'll be waiting for your ship to sail in view
thinking of each day I'll be with you,
I won't forget your love, my darling,
so please tell me,
that you won't forget my love, my cherie.
