The [D] violets were [D7] scenting the [G] woods, [Em] No-ra
Dis- [D] playing their [Bm] charms to the [E7] bees [A7]
When I [D] first said I [D7] loved only [G] you, [E7] No-ra
And [D] you said you [A] loved only [D] me
( Chorus
The [G] chestnut blooms gleamed through the [D] glade, [Bm] No-ra
A [A] robin sang loud [E7] from a [A] tree [A7]
When I [D] first said I [D7] loved on-ly [G] you, [E7] No-ra
And [D] you said you [A] loved on-ly [D] me )
The golden-robed daffodils shone, No-ra
And danced in the breeze on the lea (fallow land)
When I first said I loved only you, No-ra
And you said you loved only me
The trees, birds and bees sang a song, No-ra
Of happier transports to be
When I first said I loved only you, No-ra
And you said you loved only me
Our hopes they have never come true, No-ra
Our dreams they were never to be
Since I first said I loved only you, No-ra
And you said you loved only me
Dis- [D] playing their [Bm] charms to the [E7] bees [A7]
When I [D] first said I [D7] loved only [G] you, [E7] No-ra
And [D] you said you [A] loved only [D] me
( Chorus
The [G] chestnut blooms gleamed through the [D] glade, [Bm] No-ra
A [A] robin sang loud [E7] from a [A] tree [A7]
When I [D] first said I [D7] loved on-ly [G] you, [E7] No-ra
And [D] you said you [A] loved on-ly [D] me )
The golden-robed daffodils shone, No-ra
And danced in the breeze on the lea (fallow land)
When I first said I loved only you, No-ra
And you said you loved only me
The trees, birds and bees sang a song, No-ra
Of happier transports to be
When I first said I loved only you, No-ra
And you said you loved only me
Our hopes they have never come true, No-ra
Our dreams they were never to be
Since I first said I loved only you, No-ra
And you said you loved only me
