Don’t Forget the Lilac Bush

Lyrics

[SAM] What are you going to do, Rose? [ROSE] I think I'll go away [SAM] I'll go with you [ROSE, spoken] Sam dear, that isn't possible [SAM] Don't you remember, only this morning We said you and I would go away together [ROSE] Yes, but this morning things were so different I never dreamed it would be this way [SAM] I'll go where you go I don't care about anything else Do you think I can stay here In this slum, never seeing you Never hearing your voice Never standing by your side? Oh, Rose, I love you! My life is nothing unless you're mine [ROSE] Oh, if it could bе! [SAM] There's no hope for us unlеss we love each other Unless I belong to you And you belong to me [ROSE] Oh Sam, it's love that I want More than anything in the world But loving and belonging They're not the same Look at my father, my poor mother If she had belonged to herself And he had belonged to himself It never would have happened And that's why Even though my heart breaks I can't belong to you Or have you belong to me [SAM] Oh Rose, this is the end of my world [ROSE, spoken] If we say goodbye now It doesn't mean it has to be forever Why when we're older and wiser Maybe things will be different, Sam Oh, I'm so fond of you No matter where I go or what I do I'll always be thinking of you (sung) And don't forget the lilac-bush Bright in the morning air Remember, always remember Remember that I care Remember that I care
