I've hunted all over
To find myself a mate.
Each girl seemed such a disappointment
It was just a trick of fate.
I found then a blossom
A girl of long ago.
See if you can guess dear-
This girl that I love so.

You're just a flower from an old bouquet
I've waited patiently for you, each day.
You're just a dream come true, I know, dear
My dream, wonderful dreams of you
I'll build a home-nest full of love for you
Far from the world away.
There in our sweetheart bower
You're just my flower
From an old bouquet.

I've prayed that my dreams some
Day would all come true.
And now at last my prayer is answered
For sweetheart, I've found you.
And no other blossom
Will ever share a part
With my flower here
In the garden of my heart.
