I'm writing you, my dear,
Just to tell you,
In September, you remember
'Neath the old apple tree
You whispered to me
When it blossomed again, you'd be mine.

I've waited until I could claim you,
I hope I've not waited in vain.
For when it's spring in the valley,
I'm coming, my sweetheart, again!

I'll be with you in apple blossom time,
I'll be with you to change your name to mine.

One day in May
I'll come and say:
"Happy the bride the sun shines on today!"

What a wonderful wedding there will be,
What a wonderful day for you and me!
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple blossom time.

I'll be with you in apple blossom time,
I'll be with you to change your name to mine.

One day in May
I'll come and say:
"Happy the bride the sun shines on today!"

What a wonderful wedding there will be,
What a wonderful day for you and me!
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple blossom time.

I'm writing you, dear, just to tell you,
In September,
You remember?
'Neath the old apple tree,
You whispered to me
When it blossomed again, you'd be mine.

I've waited until I could claim you,
I hope I've not waited in vain.
For when it's Spring in the valley,
I'm coming, my sweetheart, again!

I'll be with you
In apple blossom time,
I'll be with you
To change your name to mine.
One day in May,
I'll come and say,
"Happy the bride
The sun shines on today"

What a wonderful
Wedding there will be,
What a wonderful
Day for you and me!
Church bells will chime,
You will be mine,
In apple blossom time.

I hope that you meant what you promised,
In September,
You remember?
And I thought of the day
I'd take you away,
just to have and to hold for my own.

It's such a long time since you kissed me
And told me that you'd be true,
But, when the orchard is blooming,
My sweetheart, I'm coming for you!

One day in May
I'll come and say:
"Happy the bride
The sun shines on today!"

Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple blossom time.
