Oh the violets were scenting the woods, Nora Displaying their charm to the bee When I first said I loved only you, Nora And you said you loved only me The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Nora A robin sang loud from a tree When I first said I loved only you, Nora And you said you loved only me The golden-robed daffodils shone, Nora And danced in the breeze on the lea When I first said I loved only you, Nora And you said you loved only me The trees, birds and bees sang a song, Nora Of happier transports to be When I first said I loved only you, Nora And you said you loved only me Our dreams they have never come true, Nora Our hopes they were never to be Since I first said I loved only you, Nora And you said you loved only me Since I first said I loved only you, Nora And you said you loved only me
