"The Girl In The Wood" lyrics

Remember me, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

Oh, when I was a young boy and drove my mother wild
I met a maiden in the woods and she said "Child
Look deep into my green eyes and at my autumn hair
When your a man you'll never see a girl quite as fair

Remember me, oh, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

Her eyes were green as grassy pools lookin' right at me
Her hair was red and grown with leaves just like an autumn tree
She moved her tiny hands and she made a little turn
She swayed in the wind just like a graceful fern

I swore as she vanished that when I was full grown
I'd have a girl just like her to be my very own
And now I am a man, wouldn't I'd marry if I could
For I can't lose the memory of the girl in the wood

Remember me, oh, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

I wished a hundred times that she'd never looked at me
With the first wild beauty that only youth can see
For I know I'll never terry, or marry up for good
Not while my dreams still bring to me the girl in the wood

Remember me, oh, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

Remember me, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
