The New London Chorale Lyrics
"As I Walked Out"

As I walked out one summer's day,
I thought I saw you there.
But it was just the colours of
the blossoms ev'rywhere.
I see you in the greenwood
when flowers fill the glade,
though seasons change and flowers die
my love will never fade.

As I walked through an autumn field,
I thought I saw you there.
But it was only golden leaves
and nothing to compare.
I see you in the meadow
with corn all standing high,
though autumn leaves fall from the trees
my love will never die.

As I walked in the winter snow,
I thought I saw you there.
But it was only moonlight thro'
the clear and frosty air.
I see you in the starlight
that paints the winter sky,
though day will break and stars will fade
my love will never die.

When springtime comes you will return
as birds will cross the sea,
when green bedecks the trees again
you'll come once more to me.
We'll walk all through the greenwood
where flowers scent the glade,
though seasons change and flowers die
our love will never fade.
