Of jasmine in season Clinging to the worned walls outside Of your apartment Of jasmine I remember And you, oh so tender With those loving eyes Of jasmine I remember The sweet and fragrant city Of an easy love Of jasmine I remember All the lines of Shakespeare That you made up Didn't know you well Like I do now My evergreen perennial You always stay around Of jasmine in season And all the dried figs we ate In that summer heat Of jasmine I remember Bringing you to some bistrot To listen to poetry Of jasmine I remember Stayin' inside together For days on end Of jasmine I remember You cryin' on the steps when I left Sayin' we'll stay friends Didn't know you well Like I do now My evergreen perennial You always stay around You always stay around You always stay around You always stay around
