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
