(1)

The violets were scenting the woods,Maggie,  
Their perfume was soft on the breeze. 

When I first said I loved only you,Maggie, 
And you said you loved only me.

The chestnut bloomed green 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.

(2)

A golden row of daffodils shone,Maggie,
And danced with the leaves on the lea.

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 days yet to be. 

When I first said I loved only you,Maggie, 
And you said you loved only me.

(3)

I promised that I`d come again,Maggie,
And happy forever we`d be. 

When I first said I loved only you,Maggie,
And you said you loved only me.

But the ocean proved wider than miles,Maggie,
A distance our hearts could not foresee.

When I first said I loved only you,Maggie, 
And you said you loved only me.

(4)

Our dreams they never came true,Maggie,
Our fond hopes were never meant to be.

When I first said I loved only you,Maggie,
And you said you loved only me.
