When I Was Young, Maggie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie
Their perfume was soft on the breeze

When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

The chestnut bloomed green
through the glades, Maggie
A robin sang loud from a tree

When I first said
I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

A golden row of daffodils shone, Maggie
And danced with the leaves on the lea

When I first said
I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

The birds in the trees sang a song, Maggie
of happier days yet to be

When I first said
I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

I promised that I'd come again, Maggie
And happy forever we'd be

When I first said
I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

But the ocean proved
wider than miles, Maggie
A distance our hearts could not foresee

When I first said
I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

Our dreams they never came true, Maggie
Our fond hopes were never meant to be

When I first said
I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
