Stockton Gala Days Lyrics

[ Buck/Drew/Gustafson/Augustyniak/Merchant ]
[ violin: Mary Ramsey ] 

That summer fields grew high with foxglove stalks and ivy. 
Wild apple blossoms everywhere. 
Emerald green like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me. 
There was no girl as warm as you. 

How I`ve learned to please, to doubt myself in need, 
you`ll never, you`ll never know. 

The summer fields grow high. 
We made garland crowns in hiding, pulled stems of flowers from my hair. 
Blue in the stream like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me. 
There was no girl as bold as you. 

How I`ve learned to please, to doubt myself in need, 
you`ll never, you`ll never know. 
You`ll never know. 

Violet serene like none I have set apart from dreams that escape me. 
There was no girl as warm as you. 

How I`ve learned to please, to doubt myself in need. 
You`ll never, you`ll never know. 
You`ll never know. 

That summer fields grow high. 
We had wildflower fever. 
We had to lay down where they grow. 

How I`ve learned to hide, how I`ve locked inside, you`d be surprised if shown. 
But you`ll never, you`ll never know.
