Green Grow The Laurels

Green grow the laurels, soft as the dew

Sad I was, darling, on parting from you

Perhaps in the future our love will renew

We'll love one another and promise to be true

I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine

I wrote my love a letter, he wrote me mine,

Said: Keep your love letter and I will keep mine,

You write to your love and I'll write to mine.

I passed my love's window both night time and day,

I passed my love's window both night time and day.

And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay,

And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay.

Green grow the laurels, soft as the dew

Sad I was, darling, on parting from you

Perhaps in the future our love will renew

We'll love one another and promise to be true

I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine

I wrote my love a letter, he wrote me mine,

Said: Keep your love letter and I will keep mine,

You write to your love and I'll write to mine.
