Just Like the Ivy, I'll Cling to You lyrics

Grandad sat at evenfall

'Neath the dear old garden wall

Where the ivy was clinging all around

And a maiden, young and fair

With blue eyes and golden hair

Was nestling there beside him on the ground

"Some day you'll be leaving me

For a sweetheart", the old man sighed

"Some day be forgetting me"

But with a smile the maid replied

"Just watch the ivy on that old garden wall

Clinging so tightly, whate'er may befall

As you grow older I'll be constant and true

And just like the ivy, I'll cling to you"

"When the ivy, years ago"

Said the maid, "began to grow

Then that old wall supported it with pride

Now the old wall's in decay

And is crumbling fast away

The ivy clings more tightly to its side

Loving you have ever been

You have cared for me day by day

Loving I shall ever be

And always by your side I'll stay"

"Just watch the ivy on that old garden wall

Clinging so tightly, whate'er may befall

As you grow older I'll be constant and true

And just like the ivy, I'll cling to you"
