_______

While strol - ing thru the park one day,  All in the mer - ry Month of May;

I was tak - en by sur - prise, by a pair of ro - guish eyes,  In a mo - ment, my poor heart was stole a - way.

A smile was all she gave to me.  (instrumental)

Of course, we were as hap - py as can be.  (instrumental)

I im -  me - di - ate - ly raised my hat,  And fin - al - ly she re - marked:

I nev-er shall for - get that love - ly af - ter - noon,  I met her at the foun - tain in the park.
