Maggie

Ann Breen

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
