My true love sits in a forest glade |
|
In the springtime's golden light |
|
The flowers they dance in the gentle breeze |
|
And the warm sun shines so bright |
|
And of all the flowers in the forest |
|
And all trees that do abound |
|
The ones that please my heart the most |
|
Are green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
The holly yew and the ivy tree |
|
Are green the whole year round |
|
When summer comes and the days are hot |
|
And the birds are full of song |
|
In the quiet shade of that leafy glade |
|
That is where my heart belongs |
|
For I know whenever I look for you |
|
That is where you can be found |
|
As you take your ease neath your favorite trees |
|
That are green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
The holly yew and the ivy tree |
|
Are green the whole year round |
|
But the summer fades and the days grow short |
|
And the autumn winds they blow |
|
And the leaves of gold come tumbling down |
|
To the forest far below |
|
Memories of other days come tumbling from the past |
|
To remind us, like the seasons do |
|
That life goes by so fast |
|
The winter lays her fingers cold |
|
On dark and lonely nights |
|
But christmas it will soon be here |
|
To usher in the light |
|
And when morning breaks and the bells ring out |
|
It is such a joyous sound |
|
To hear them echo in the trees |
|
That are green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
The holly yew and the ivy tree |
|
Are green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
The holly yew and the ivy tree |
|
Are green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
Green the whole year round |
|
The holly yew and the ivy tree |
|
Are green the whole year round |
