MAGGIE
Maura O'Connell


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 green through the glades Maggie
A robin sang aloud from the 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 happy a trance for us 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
