[D]The violets were[D7] scenting the[G] woods[Em] Nora dis[D]playing their[Bm] charms to the[E7] bees,,[A7
when I[D]
first said I[D7] loved only[G] you[E7] Nora, and[D] you said you[A] loved only[D] me
the[G] chestnut blooms gleam through
the[D] glade[Bm] Nora a[A] robin sang loud[E7] from the[A] tree
when I[D] first said I[D7] loved only[G] you[E7] Nora,
and[D] you said you[A] loved only[D] me
The golden dewed daffodils shone Nora and danced in the breeze of the Lee
when I first said I loved only you Nora,
and you said you loved only me
the birds in the trees sang their songs Nora of happier transports to be
when I first
said I loved only you Nora, and you said you loved only me
Our hopes they have never come true our dreams were never to be
since I first said I loved only you Nora, and you
said you loved only me
