Select language to translate this lyric
It was on a summer's evening when all the world stood still
Two lovers rambled down a lane to an old and whirring mill
He was leaving on the morrow for a land far far away
And as she nestled close to him she heard him softly say
Ill return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gaily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
Ill
return
my
little
sweetheart,
in
the
Spring.
On the quay there stands a soldier in uniform so bright
He's waiting for the big troop ship to take him to the fight
For the bugles they are blowing and the masts are pointed high
And as the cable settled down from below there comes a sigh
Ill return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gaily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
Ill
return
my
little
sweetheart,
in
the
Spring.
In a cottage by the fireside sits a maiden young and fair
And as the tears roll down her cheeks, the letter she had there
And as she read it o'er and o'er it was more than she could bear
For e'er the morning dawned on her she was gone for all most fair
So they laid in her in a graveyard in the Spring
And for her those wedding bells would never ring
For among the dead and dying her soldier boy was lying
When they laid her in a graveyard in the Spring
Ill return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gaily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
Ill
return
my
little
sweetheart,
in
the
Spring.
