New London Chorale As I Walked Out
As I walked out on summer's day,
I thought I saw you there.
But it was just the colours of
the blossoms ev'rywhere.
I see you in the greenwood
when flowers fill the glad,
tho' seasons change and flowers die
my love will never fade.
As I walked thro'an autumnfield,
I thought I saw you there.
But it was only golden leaves
and nothing to compare.
I see you in the meadow
with corn all standing high,
tho' autumn leaves fall from the trees
my love will never die.
As I walked in the wintersnow,
I thought I saw you there.
But it was only moonlight thro'
the clear and frosty air.
I see you in the starlight
that paints the wintersky,
tho'day will break and stars will fade
my love will never die.
When springtime comes you will return
as birds will cross the sea,
when green bedecks the trees again
you'll come once more to me.
We'll wlak all thro' the greenwood
where flowers scent the glade,
tho' seasons change and flowers die
our love will never fade.
