Snowdrops and daffodils Butterflies and bees Sailboats and fishermen Things of the sea Wishing-wells Wedding bells Early morning dew All kinds of everything remind me of you Seagulls and aeroplanes Things of the sky Winds that go howlin' Breezes that sigh City sights Neon lights Grey skies or blue All kinds of everything remind me of you Summertime Wintertime Spring and autumn too Monday Tuesday every day I think of you. Dances Romances Things of the night Sunshine and holidays Postcards to write Budding trees Autumn leaves A snowflake or two All kinds of everything remind me of you. Summertime Wintertime Spring and autumn too Seasons will never change The way that I love you. Dances Romances Things of the night Sunshine and holidays Postcards to write Budding trees Autumn leaves A snowflake or two All kinds of everything remind me of you. All kinds of everything remind me of you.
