Lyrics:

For I bring a little white gardenia
As refreshing as a day in May
You may wear it if you care or toss it away
If you look into this white gardenia
There's a message there I dare not say
That I'll let this little white gardenia convey

Who knows, tomorrow we may be
Together or so far apart
Take this token of my love
Cherish it and keep it close to your heart
If our paths should ever cross again, dear
Accidentally, or by fate's design
If you wear this little white gardenia
I'll know you are mine
I'll know you are mine
So I'll bring a little white gardenia
