Lyrics[]
Her name was Holly
And she was lovely
In Spring, I met her by the river side
Her name was Holly
And she was lovely
With autumn hair and early evening eyes
And as she smiled wild and free
Tilting her head to ask me
Just what it was I’d like to do
I said “Holly, follow me
We’ll run along the lane
There’s an oak tree waiting for us
Where I carved your name
And we’ll sit as the robin sings a welcoming tune
With the violets in a brilliant bloom.”
Her name was Holly
And she was lovely
We met in Summer by the river side
Her name was Holly
And she was lovely
I pulled her close and gazed into her eyes
And as she laughed wild and free
Tilting her head to ask me
Just what it was I’d like to do
I said, “Holly, come with me
We’ll run along the lane
There’s a chapel waiting for us
Where you’ll take my name
And we’ll kiss as the silver bells start chiming in tune
With the violets in a brilliant bloom.”
But winter came, red turned to grey
And fifty years passed like a day
Until one night I held her tight
As those eyes drifted far away
I said “Holly, wait for me
I’ll come along the lane
To the oak tree calling for us
Where I carved your name
There we’ll sleep as the robin sings a fare-thee-well tune
With the violets in a brilliant bloom.”
