She’s walking hand in hand
With a boy, almost a man

He’s walking side by side
With a girl, not yet a bride

She’s smiling ear to ear
Whispers only he can hear

He sings her, word for word,
The sweet songs of every bird

This love lives day to day
On youth’s hopeful holiday

Love withers by and by
But all flowers one day die

They’re walking hand in hand
In the purest love, unplanned
