The Sweet Willow

I looked for the bend ......... 
On the tranquil river 
It's not far to go 
For ,I met my love........ 
Under the sweet willow 

The years have passed...... 
Since the day 
I met you, long ago 
Where we used to play.......... 
Under the sweet willow 

My years have been kind...... 
I still miss you........ 
By the bend in the river 
Long ago......... 
Under the sweet willow 

You were taken, so very soon 
My love............ 
I still miss you so 
I still mourn for you.......... 
Under the sweet willow 

Weeping willow...... 
On the tranquil river........... 
Where we first met 
My eyes,wet........... 
Under the sweet willow 

I looked for the bend........... 
I am not there yet 
The place......... 
Where we first met........... 
My eyes, wet....... 
Under the sweet willow 

My last day, too 
On the tranquil river so........ 
My eyes, wet 
Our eyes, met 
I joined you............ 
Under the sweet willow
