I love you, he promised

To the girl with bright green eyes

Alone in the forest

Without a watchful eye

I’ll stay with you forever, dear

Until the time has come

For us to be together

But not upon this earth

Dearest girl did smile then

Lost in train of thought

This boy, he did love her

This boy had caught her heart

I love you, he promised

To the girl with bright green eyes

Back inside the village

Sneaking out of sight

Days went by, the years went by

With ever-changing scenes

And still the boy did promise

The girl was his whole heart

Promise me, my dear one

The girl whispered in his ear

You will always love me

Even when I’m not here

The boy stared in wonder

As green eyes faded to despair

Her time had come far early

To leave this lovely earth

Too young the dearest boy was left

To love a single one

Heart retched out of place

Weeping where they met

Heartache, tears break

Gone forever, without a sound

Lost in the fog, alone in the deep

Bound by a promise, that he couldn’t keep
