Under the Weeping Willow Tree

Under The Weeping Willow I saw you when we were kids Playing with blocks on the kindergarten floor We grew up You became a beauty I became a geek I never had the never had the nerve to talk to you Then we met Under the weeping willow down on the shores of the river We met, we held hands and we kissed That old weeping willow shed its tears The willow's tears that flowed in happiness We had found the love we both wanted I proposed and we wed Promising to share our lives from then on Never to part I saw the love in your eyes The geek married the beauty And the rest of our lives began Under the weeping will down on the shores of the river We shared our vows The rings shined on our finger That old weeping willow shed its tears The willow's tears that flowed in happiness We had found the forever we both wanted Our baby was born on a summer day The sun was warm and the breeze gentle She was named willow And she smiled at the sun shining through the leaves She loves her mother and father All the love in the world could be seen in her eyes Under the weeping will down on the shores of the river We were the perfect family A beautiful little girl with a future of love ahead She brought pure happiness into our lives That old weeping willow shed its tears The willow's tears that flowed in happiness We had found the family we both wanted That winter the love of my life died She went to sleep She answered God's call All her prayers would be answered I am sure that she was welcomed to Heaven And given a beautiful pair of wings Under the weeping will down on the shores of the river I laid her body to rest A beautiful love that will last forever She is smiling because she was loved That old weeping willow shed its tears The willow's tears that flowed in sadness The love of my life was gone
