Greensleeves

Alas my love, you do me wrong

To cast me off discourteously

For you have loved me for so long

My arms become your home

Greensleeves, you are all I need

My love, my muse, my heart of gold

Greensleeves, don’t do this to me

Be brave, be the one that I love

You told me not to hold your hand

You told me not to call your name

You told me that you loved me still

And then you walked away

Come run away with me

I know a place where we can be free

Come let your life begin

In a place you can be yourself

You said you would always care for me

But your family wouldn’t understand

If they will never accept your love

Then why do you still care what they think?

Greensleeves, you are all I need

My love, my muse, my heart of gold

Greensleeves, don’t do this to me

Be brave, be the one that I love

I watched you cry as you walked away

And I knew this wasn’t what you want

I wish you still had the heart to dream

I wish you would stand up for yourself

Come run away with me

I know a place where we can be free

Come let your life begin

In a place you can be yourself
