Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly) [From So Dear to My Heart] Lyrics
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
If I were king, dilly, dilly
I'd need a queen
Who told me so, dilly, dilly
Who told me so
I told myself, dilly, dilly
I told me so
If your dilly, dilly heart
Feels a dilly, dilly way
And if you answer, yes
In a pretty little church
On a dilly, dilly day
You'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress
Of lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
Then I'll be king, dilly, dilly
And you'll be my queen
Great-grandfather met great grandmother
When she was a shy young miss
And great-grandfather won great-grandmother
With words more or less like this
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
If you were king, dilly, dilly
You need a queen
Who told you so, dilly, dilly
Who told you so
I told myself, dilly, dilly
I told me so
If your dilly, dilly heart
Feels a dilly, dilly way
And if you'll answer, yes
In a pretty little church
On a dilly, dilly day
you'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress of
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
Then I'll be king, dilly, dilly
And you'll be my queen
Lavender green
If I were king, dilly, dilly
I'd need a queen
Who told me so
I told myself, dilly, dilly
I told me so
Feels a dilly, dilly way
And if you answer, yes
In a pretty little church
On a dilly, dilly day
You'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress
Lavender green
Then I'll be king, dilly, dilly
And you'll be my queen
When she was a shy young miss
And great-grandfather won great-grandmother
With words more or less like this
Lavender green
If you were king, dilly, dilly
You need a queen
Who told you so
I told myself, dilly, dilly
I told me so
Feels a dilly, dilly way
And if you'll answer, yes
In a pretty little church
On a dilly, dilly day
you'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress of
Lavender green
Then I'll be king, dilly, dilly
And you'll be my queen
