The Twelve Days of Loving

Summer is coming and the trees are getting Fat,
So please put some love into this little birds hat.

On the first day of loving, my lover gave to me
A kiss underneath an oak tree.


On the second day of loving, my lover gave to me,
Two strong arms,
And a kiss underneath an oak tree.


On the third day of loving, my lover gave to me,
Three spoken words wrapped in two strong arms,
And a kiss underneath an oak tree.


On the fourth day of loving, my lover gave to me,
Four promises, three spoken words,
Wrapped in two strong arms,
And a kiss underneath an oak tree.


On the fifth day of loving my lover gave to me,
Sweet scented breath, four promises,
Three spoken words,wrapped in two strong arms,
And a kiss underneath an oak tree.


On the sixth day of loving, my lover gave to me,
Six roses red with sweet scented breath,
Four promises,three spoken words
Wrapped in two strong arms,
And a kiss underneath an oak tree.


On the seventh day of loving my lover gave to me,
Seven secret smiles, six roses red with sweet
Scented breath , four promises with three spoken words
Wrapped in two strong arms,
As we kissed underneath an oak tree.


On the eighth day of loving my lover gave to me,
A note tumbling down from the tree;
With seven secret smiles , six roses red with sweet
Scented breath, four promises, three spoken words,
Wrapped in two strong arms,
And a kiss underneath an oak tree.


On the ninth day of loving, my lover gave to me,
Nine salty tears , a note tumbled down,
With seven secret smiles, six roses red with
Sweet scented breath, four promises, three spoken words,
Wrapped in two strong arms,
But no kiss underneath the oak tree.


On the tenth day of loving he was no longer here;
I had nine salty tears from the note tumbled down;
With seven secret smiles, six roses red with sweet
Scented breath, four promises, three spoken words,
No strong arms,
And I lay underneath the oak tree.


On the eleventh day of loving my lover gave to me
Eleven sighs of grief, he was no longer here,
The note had tumbled down -
I had nine salty tears , seven secret smiles, six roses red
With sweet scented breath,
Four promises with three spoken words,
Two aching arms...
And I wept underneath the oak tree.


On the twelfth day of loving I rose and went away;
With eleven sighs of grief for he was no longer here;
I had nine salty tears , for the note had tumbled down -
With seven secret smiles,
six roses dead with sweet Scented breath,
four promises, three spoken words

Two empty arms;


We had loved underneath the oak tree.
