Green Grow The Laurels Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Chorus: 

Green grow the laurels, soft as the dew 

Sad I was, darling, on parting from you 

Perhaps in the future our love will renew 

We'll love one another and promise to be true 

I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine 

I wrote my love a letter, he wrote me mine, 

Said: keep your love letter and I will keep mine, 

You write to your love and I'll write to mine. 

I passed my love's window both night time and day, 

I passed my love's window both night time and day. 

And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay, 

And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay. 

(chorus)
