The Old Oak Tree

In a meadow by the stream there stood a big oak tree and now I think of all the things that tree has meant to me The old tire swing hung from a limb was put up by our dad and all day long us kids would play and oh' what fun we had In the shade of that old tree whose limbs are now bent low is where I met my one true love so many years ago Was where I got my very first kiss under that old tree and that old oak stood right there smiling down at me We are all grown up now but how we loved that old tree a place of refuge for us all a place where we were free We all went back the other day to see just one more time that beautiful tall old oak tree for ever etched in our mind
