Broken Blossoms
Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald; A. Robert King



Often a page of a book turned o'er 
Brings back a vision of days of yore 
Only a rose leaf that lingers yet
Touches a spot that we can't forget

Once in a while there's a fragrance rare
Bringing a lingering vision fair
Only a thought of a bygone love 
You have been longing and thinking of

Broken blossoms, maybe a violet blue 
Pansies purple, tenderest thoughts renew 
Lillies of white or rose red
Bring back a mem'ry long since dead
Broken blossoms in fancy they bloom again
