Chorus:
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.
(chorus)
