about

That Jasmine Never Bloomed" is a bittersweet song that takes listeners on a journey through the memories of a past love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young couple sitting in the sunshine of their garden full of hope for the future, with the singer’s lover wishing to plant a jasmine flower. The song reflects on the relationship that came, and how the jasmine never bloomed despite their love and care for each other.
The song's chorus, "Ooh that jasmine never bloomed / But I still remember you," is a powerful and emotive declaration of the singer’s enduring love and memories of their relationship but also acknowledging that something wasn’t quite right.
The song ends with a bittersweet realization that, though the jasmine never bloomed, the love they shared was beautiful and it grew into a beautiful garden. "Jasmine Never Bloomed" is a song for those who have ever loved and lost and still hold on to the memories and emotions of the past.

lyrics

I remember the first time
We sat in the sunshine
In our garden on the roof
You wanted a jasmine
It got under your skin
A memory from your youth

There were sorrows and showers
You kept wishing for flowers
There in the month of June
But that dama de noche
Wouldn't give up her secrets
She held in her sweet perfume

Ooh that jasmine never bloomed
And I still remember you
Everything in that garden grew
But that jasmine never bloomed

With mice on the flower beds
Confetti in the grass
That's how our wedding was
A midsummer madness to
Sorrow and sadness
The neighbour's barking dogs

Ooh that jasmine never bloomed
And I still remember you
Everything in that garden grew
But that jasmine never bloomed
Ooh no diamonds could produce
That deep September blue
Everything in that garden grew
But that jasmine never bloomed

Now tonight I can smell you
Through the dimness of years
Your caressing sweet perfume
And someone might say
Come the spring time in May
What a beautiful garden we grew
What a beautiful garden we grew
