Lyrics
Lavender
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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. you. For your love, IOU 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
IOU for your love, IOU for your love
Lavender Dreams, dilly dilly, Lavender True!
When you miss me, dilly dilly, I did miss you
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
I.O. you. For your love, IOU for your love
For your love
For your love
For your love
Oh, I gonna get back to you!
Gonna find my way back to you!
For you love
For you love
I'm always walking in the park
Always dreaming of a spark
From you
