Wept Beneath a Tree

So sure of love and all that it can be This kiss to celebrate the moment met That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree There all the world if only eyes could see Was placed there at their feet without regret So sure of love and all that it can be Their promises exchanged so preciously That even passing clouds became beset That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree Secure in trust they let their hearts fly free Unknowing that the clouds weren’t finished yet So sure of love and all that it can be Love’s passions grew and joined the cloudy spree Into this torrent destiny was set That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree And with each storm they loved more carefully Their memories will not let them forget So sure of love and all that it can be That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree
