[D]The violets were[D7] scenting the[G] woods[Em] Nora 
dis[D]playing their[Bm] charms to the[E7] bees,,[A7
when I[D] first said I[D7] loved only[G] you[E7] Nora, 
and[D] you said you[A] loved only[D] me
the[G] chestnut blooms gleam through the[D] glade[Bm] 
Nora a[A] robin sang loud[E7] from the[A] tree
when I[D] first said I[D7] loved only[G] you[E7] Nora, 
and[D] you said you[A] loved only[D] me

breeze of the Lee
when I first said I loved only you Nora, and you said you 
loved only me
the birds in the trees sang their songs Nora of happier 
transports to be
when I first said I loved only you Nora, and you said you 
loved only me
Our hopes they have never come true our dreams were never 
to be
since I first said I loved only you Nora, and you said 
you loved only me
