The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie, Displaying their charm to the bee, When I first said I loved only you, Maggie, And you said you loved only me.
The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Maggie, A robin sang loud from a tree, When I first said I loved only you, Maggie, And you said you loved only me.
The golden rows of daffodils shone, Maggie, And danced with the leaves on the trees, When I first said I loved only you, Maggie, And you said you loved only me.
Birds in the trees sang a song, Maggie, Of happier transports to be, When I first said I loved only you, Maggie, And you said you loved only me.
Our dreams they have never come true, Maggie, Our hopes they never were to be, When I first said I loved only you, Maggie, And you said you loved only me. When I first said I loved only you, Maggie, And you said you loved only me.
