Green grow the laurels, soft as the dew |
|
Sad I was, darling, on parting from you |
|
Perhaps in the future our love will renew |
|
We'll love one another and promise to be true |
|
I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine |
|
I wrote my love a letter, he wrote me mine, |
|
Said: Keep your love letter and I will keep mine, |
|
You write to your love and I'll write to mine. |
|
I passed my love's window both night time and day, |
|
I passed my love's window both night time and day. |
|
And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay, |
|
And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay. |
|
Green grow the laurels, soft as the dew |
|
Sad I was, darling, on parting from you |
|
Perhaps in the future our love will renew |
|
We'll love one another and promise to be true |
|
I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine |
|
I wrote my love a letter, he wrote me mine, |
|
Said: Keep your love letter and I will keep mine, |
|
You write to your love and I'll write to mine. |
