While summer breezes mingled Bougainvillea,
D 
Citrus and Matron,
G

A lady handed me her infant son,
Then take him in your home

That he was born the son
G

She was so young and yet so old inside
F

Such is life, she cried,
D

You'll want to know,
G

But don't tell him where I've gone,

the love she's known,
This memory of her own
D 
such as few have ever known.
