Weeping Willow

I am the weeping willow Inside your garden green And I hope that you can hear me Hear me as I scream Into your bedroom window As you soundly sleep To that quiet thumping Of your heart-beat And I hope that I am with you To make your day feel bright But I've gone and went so far away To a place that won't feel right Until I see your shining face Shining out into the world Shining out to give me sight, Because it seems so lonely here without you But you get me through the night And into the morning Because I think you might, have Dreamed of me last night Dreamed I would be coming home To hold you close to me. Now I miss you more than breathing And I am writing you a song To help your patience wait for me To help you feel like you belong And your inside my long-lost heart. Inside my long-lost song. Because I think you might, have Dreamed of me, inside your garden green Dreamed that I would sit and sing In the right piano key To help you through your nights and days To help you think of me. Now that I have made it here I don't know why I'd ever leave But then I'll think of how you'll smile When you finally see This plan I have for the two of us This plan won't believe So we'll bring along a camera To capture of memories, To keep them deep inside hearts , To keep them in our dreams, And I am the weeping willow As we float downstream Like something from a movie Or something from a dream. I just want you to know that I care That I think your perfect, And you'll see when we get there I'll bring that smile through To see those bright eyes shine To see the real you. I miss you And I don't think they understand How I wish I was a child And you my mother's hand And I am the weeping willow Inside your garden green That intrudes upon your loneliness And intrudes upon your dreams And I hope one day you'll love me Like a love I've never seen You'll intrude upon this loneliness And intrude upon my dreams
