Nana Mouskouri - Wildwood Flower lyrics
[Nana Mouskouri - Wildwood Flower lyrics]
I will twine with my mingles
And waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue
The pale and the leader
All eyes look like blue
I will dance, I will sing
And my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart
In this crowd I will sway
When I woke from my dreams my idol was clay
All portions of love had all flown away
He taught me to love him
And promised to love
And cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wonderin'
No misery can tell
He's left me no warning, no words of fairwell
Oh he taught me to love him
And called me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him
Through life' s dreary hour
How I longed to see him
And regret the dark hour
He' s gone and neglected
His pale wildwood flower
And waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue
The pale and the leader
All eyes look like blue
I will dance, I will sing
And my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart
In this crowd I will sway
When I woke from my dreams my idol was clay
All portions of love had all flown away
He taught me to love him
And promised to love
And cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wonderin'
No misery can tell
He's left me no warning, no words of fairwell
Oh he taught me to love him
And called me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him
Through life' s dreary hour
How I longed to see him
And regret the dark hour
He' s gone and neglected
His pale wildwood flower
