When You I Were Young Maggie

 

When You I Were Young 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.
