Hey, any Vincentians out there? In fact, anybody else who might be able to help me reconstruct these songs is welcome… I think it was way back in the third and fourth grades that I had sung these. Wonder where the lyrics now lie in some god forsaken corner of my mind…
Well, here is the first one… its called FORGET-ME-NOT AND BLUEBELLS…
A forget-me –not said, to a bluebell one day,
Why do you bend your head in that way?
Why don’t you lift your head up to the sky?
And bluebell replied, “Alright, I’ll try…”
Forget-me-not and Bluebell, are very friendly flowers,
They talk together in the garden for hours…
Bluebell lifted her head, and it started to rain,
Her head filled with water and dropped down again,
God had made her that way, with her head hanging down,
To see all the beauty that grows from the ground…
Forget-me-not and Bluebell are very friendly flowers,
They talk together in the garden for hours…
I know I am missing some verses here or have probably jumbled up the verses… damn, if I could only remember the whole song properly.
Here is the second, its called “IT’S A SMALL WORLD.”
It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears,
It’s a world of hope and a world of fears,
Though the mountains are wide,
And the oceans divide,
It’s a small world after all.
CHORUS:
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world
I found the remnant lyrics on the net, couldn’t remember the second stanza… but as far as forget-me-not is concerned, I still cant find a source… please help!!!
and hey if you remember any other songs, please feel free to remind me of them... its nice to go down memory lane, "in school with you, back in 1993!!! "

i remember both the songs :) not the lyrics though!!!
ahhh...
it's the same with everyone man!
i'll have to see if i can dig up the old song book from school...
My sister recorded "forget me not" in the mid sixties, that's how I learned it. I sang it last saturday at our local folk club in maleny.
Ah! I'd be much obliged if you could rekindle the words for me!
This is what I sang on Saturday
A forget-me–not said to a bluebell one day,
"Why do you hold your head down in that way?
Why don’t you hold your head up to the sky?"
"Alright", said the bluebell , “Alright, I’ll try.”
Forget-me-not and Bluebell are very friendly flowers,
They talk together in the garden for hours.
Bluebell lifted her head, and it started to rain,
Her head filled with water and crashed down again,
"Oh dear", cried Bluebell, "that hurt quite a lot!"
And none was more sorry than her friend Forget-Me-Not
Forget-me-not and Bluebell, are very friendly flowers,
They talk together in the garden for hours,
Then Forget-me-not knew 'twas a silly thing to do
To ask her friend Bluebell to look to the blue
God made her that way, with her head hanging down,
To see all the beauty that's down on the ground.
Forget-me-not and Bluebell are very friendly flowers,
They talk together in the garden for hours.
Hope this is helpful - I think she learned it at Regina Coeli in London, but I'm not sure

I am indebted to you Tommy! That is precisely what I was looking for!
The words are the ones I had been searching high and low! Thank you! I hope I be of some help too someday!
I have been thinking of this song that I learned in school ages ago. Couldn't remember the lyrics very well so used the aid of Dr Google. Thank you for putting it down here!
