You keep com - ing back like a song,

A  song that keeps say - ing "Re - mem - ber".

The per - fume of ro - ses in May 

A7   Dalt  G  D  Gdim D  Fdim  C#7       
Re - turns to my room in  De - cem - ber.

From out of the past,

Where for - got - ten things be - long,

 G7  D   D9     D  Edim Em7 A7  D
You keep com - ing back like a song.
