The Old Oak

Verse 1 There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side There’s a bridge down the way crossing a river that’s wide And the green hills roll forever, it’s a beautiful sight With a backdrop of mountains their tips covered white Verse 2 There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side Where I carved out our names with a small pocket knife And the letters we etched in a timeless old tree Say that I’ll always love you long past eternity Chorus I’ll soon be with you angel, this body grows tired I’ll soon be with you angel for soon I’ll expire I’ll soon be with you angel never then will we part I’ll soon be with you angel be still my beating heart Verse 3 There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side And a single headstone marks the place where you lie A chair by the side of your last resting place Which I sit in for hours and just stare into space Verse 4 There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side Tended by a lost soul who hasn’t much time It won’t be long now and we’ll be one again There’s been so much pain since I lost you my friend Chorus I’ll soon be with you angel, this body grows tired I’ll soon be with you angel for soon I’ll expire I’ll soon be with you angel never then will we part I’ll soon be with you angel be still my beating heart
