When You & I Were Young Maggie

The violets were scenting the woods

Maggie, displaying the charms to the breeze

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-robed daffodils shone

Maggie, and danced with the leaves on the breeze

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 transports to be

When I first said I loved only you

Maggie, and you said you loved

Our dreams they have never come true

Maggie, our hopes they were never to be

When I first said I loved only you

Maggie, and you said you loved only me
