Once I met a lady
My first, for I was younger then
Now she feels a baby
Was a cold wind from the south
But what's it all about?
In a week of constant Mondays
I will set sail of a Friday
And honeysuckle sorrow
Let's go where the olives grow
Good lady of Toronto
Well, I wish I was the baby
There inside her
I wish I had a day
To lie beside her
And if I had my poems
I'd recite to her
And light a friendly candle
When she's gone
Well, I wish I was the baby
There inside her
I wish I had a day
To lie beside her
And if I had my poems
I'd recite to her
And light a friendly candle
When she's gone
Well, once I met a lady
My first, for I was younger then
And honeysuckle sorrow
Let's go where the olives grow
Good lady of Toronto
