My heart breaks when I think of May
The girl I love, so far away
In space and time, only in rhyme
can I approach and make her mine

My heart breaks as I think of May
The girl I met for scarce a day
She lit my life with gentle smile
A hint of sadness all the while

My heart breaks as I think of May
Who has lost her love, what's more to say?
Save, time will heal and time will mend
Though one always mourns an absent friend

So broken though your heart may be
Don't be downcast but try to see
That life is love and carries on
And although it hurts it's a sweet song
