I was walking in the park
dreaming of a spark,
when i heard the sprinklers whisper, shimmer
in the haze of summer lawns,
then i heard the children singing,
they were running through the rainbows.
they were singing a song for you.
well it seemed to be a song for you,
the one i wanted to write for you, for you
you.
Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green,
when i am king, dilly dilly, you will be queen.
a penny for your thoughts my dear,
a penny for your thoughts my dear,
i.o.u. for your love,
i.o.u. for your love.
Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue,
when you love me, dilly dilly, i will love you.
a penny for your thoughts my dear,
a penny for your thoughts my dear,
i.o.u. for your love,
i.o.u. for your love.
-----[ 7" version starts here]----
Lavender dreams, dilly dilly, lavenders true,
when you missed me, dilly dilly, i did miss you.
a penny for your thoughts my dear,
a penny for your thoughts my dear,
i.o.u. for your love,
i.o.u. for your love
for your love...
for your love...for your love.
Oh, i gotta go back to you,
gotta find my way back to you.
for your love...
for your love...for your love.
I'm always walking in the park,
always dreaming of a spark,
from you.
