When You and I Were Young, Maggie lyrics

The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie

Displaying their 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 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 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 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
