Green grow the laurels and soft is 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 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 I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine Saying keep your love letter and I will keep mine And you write to your love and I'll write to mine Green grow the laurels and soft is 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
