Stockton Gala Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus:]
How I've learned to please
To doubt myself in need
You'll never, you'll never know

[Verse 2]
That summer fields grew 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

[Chorus:]
How I've learned to please
To doubt myself in need
You'll never, you'll never know
You'll never know
[Verse 3]
Violet serene like none I have seen
Apart from dreams that escape me
There was no girl as warm as you

[Chorus:]
How I've learned to please
To doubt myself in need
You'll never, you'll never know

[Chorus:]
How I've learned to please
To doubt myself in need
You'll never, you'll never know
You'll never know

[Outro]
That summer fields grew high
We had wildflower fever
We had to lay down where they grow (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
Oh oh oh
You'll never, never know
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
