Where The Nightingales Flew

I walk through the woods in the moonlight Where I used to walk with you, I hear the trees whispering your name In the woods where the nightingales flew The trees heard the promise you made me, The love you swore was true; They witnessed it all that evening In the woods where the nightingales flew We kissed and pledged our love forever, But you said that wouldn't do; So you carved a heart with our initials In the woods where the nightingales flew The trees rejoiced in our romance, I sensed it as we passed through; They raised their leafy boughs to the sky In the woods where the nightingales flew Our laughter still echoes in the branches, And our kisses are still fresh as the dew; Me and the trees remember it well In the woods where the nightingales flew Over the years I forgot my promise, Indifference caused me to be untrue; I just heard they found your lifeless body In the woods where the nightingales flew Forgive me, my love, for what I've done, If I could just make it up to you - Haunt me, torture me 'til my spirit joins yours In the woods where the nightingales flew Many years have passed since we walked here, But I still feel it, that happiness we knew; I'll stay here 'til the life leaves my body, Here in the woods where the nightingales flew
