I'm writing you dear, just to tell you,
In September, you remember
'neath the old apple tree, you whispered to me
When it blossomed again, you'd be mine.
I've waited until I could claim you,
I hope I've not waited in vain.
For when it's spring in the valley,
I'm coming, my sweetheart again.
I'll be with you in apple blossom time,
I'll be with you to change your name to mine.
One day in May, I'll come and say,
"Happy the bride the sun shines on today."
What a wonderful wedding there will be,
What a wonderful day for you and me,
Church-bells will chime, you will be mine,
In apple blossom time.
Featured in the movie Buck Privates (1941) by
the Andrews Sisters.
