Lyrics When You and I Were Young Maggie - The Shannon Singers

When You and I Were Young Maggie

The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie
Displaying their charms to the bees
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The chestnut bloom gleams thru the glade, Maggie
A robin sang loud from a tree
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The golden row daffodils shine, Maggie
And danced with the leafs 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 happier transports 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 were never to be
Since I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
