Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was walkin' in the park
Dreamin' of a spark
When I heard the sprinklers whisper
Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns
Then I heard the children singin'
They were runnin' through the rainbows
They were singin' a song for you
Well it seemed to be a song for you
The one I wanted to write for you
For you
You
[Verse 2]
Lavender's blue, dilly-dilly, lavender's green
When I am king, dilly-dilly, you will be queen
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
I.O.U. for your love
I.O.U. for your love
[Verse 3]
Lavender's green, dilly-dilly, lavender's blue
When you love me, dilly-dilly, I will love you
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
I.O.U. for your love
I.O.U. for your love
[Verse 4]
Lavender dreams, dilly-dilly, lavender's true
When you miss me, dilly-dilly, I did miss you
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
A penny for your thoughts, my dear
I.O.U. for your love
I.O.U. for your love
For your love, for your love
For your love
[Verse 5]
Oh, I gotta get back to you
Gotta find a way back to you
For your love, for your love
For your love
[Verse 6]
I'm always walkin' in the park
Always dreamin' of a spark
From you
