I see the girl who delights in all the world, Olivia
She shares a name with the woman you became
And they really are the same, Olivia
Olivia, Olivia, how does your garden grow
Olivia, Olivia, my heart wants to know
You see the boy whose eyes are full of joy, Olivia
He shares a soul with this traveller brave and bold
This lover growing old, Olivia
Olivia, Olivia, what flowers do you sow
Olivia, Olivia, where do the hours go
The light in your eyes, brighter than the winter skies, Olivia
The warmth of my skin always seems to draw you in
Never want to leave again, Olivia
Olivia, Olivia, why do these moments pass
Olivia, Olivia, will they ever last
The sun arrives with each bright morning
The songbirds cast their quiet spell
You hear their joy but not their warning
Time will pass but time will never tell
Olivia, Olivia, time will never tell
I see us here in the shadow of our fear, Olivia
We share a heart, we don’t have to be apart
Love could be a brand new start, Olivia
Olivia, Olivia, how does your garden grow
Olivia, Olivia, will I ever know
Olivia, Olivia

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
So pleased to see your second album on its way. I’ve just about worn a hole in your first CD because I love it so much. Cannae wait due the whole thing to appear on 4th May. The taster track is AWESOME!! 🙏 floradouglas
