Lavender

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, 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.U. for your love,

I.O.U. 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,

I.O.U. for your love,

I.O.U. for your love.



Lavender dreams, dilly dilly, lavenders true,

When you missed me, dilly dilly, I did miss you.

A penny for your thoughts my dear,

A penny for your thoughts my dear,

I.O.U. for your love,

I.O.U. for your love

For your love... for your love...

for your love.



Oh, I gotta go back to you,

Gotta find my way back to you.

For your love... for your love...

for your love.



I'm always walking in the park,

Always dreaming of a spark,

From you.
