C majorC C/BC/B
I see the young ones slowly strolling
A minorAm G+G
On their Friday promenade
A minorAm
The sun is low their faces glowing
C majorC G+G C majorC
Hopeful hearts out on display

In their dreams are wine and roses
A minorAm G+G
Quiet picnics in the park
A minorAm
Holding hands and rubbing noses
C majorC G+G C majorC
Softly kissing in the dark

Pledge my soul so young and pure
C majorC C/BC/B

Quiet picnics in the park
