Berry Picking Time Lyrics - Great Big Sea - Great Big Sea

Well I spied a berry bush as I was strolling home one day 

And somehow it brought back the bygone days 

Of when you and I were berry picking many years ago 

In a little county not so far away 

How well I do remember the day when we first met 

It leaves a picture in my mind I never can forget 

CHORUS: 

We were picking berries at Old Aunt Mary's 

When I picked a blushing bride 

As we strolled home together, I just wondered whether 

I could win you forever if I tried 

Then at love's suggestion, I popped the question 

And asked you to be mine 

By your kisses I knew, you'd picked me and I'd picked you 

At berry picking time 

CHORUS 

Well how sweet you were that day, in your simple gingham gown 

To me you were as lovely as a Queen 

When from underneath your bonnet popped a pair of golden curls 

And the bluest eyes that I have ever seen 

Your lips were red as cherries, the taste was twice as sweet 

It only took one kiss to make my happiness complete 

CHORUS
