Our Willow Tree
There was an old willow tree
We used to sit there, you and me
In the middle of our field
It's been years since my heart has healed
But the memories still remain.
We would sit underneath that tree
And talk about all those things we would see
All of those things we planned to do
Oh it's so hard to forget about you
The memories don't go away
It was a few weeks since we saw the tree
We both became too busy
The dreams began to fade
I wish that you had stayed
The memories keep coming back
Today I look at the stump of our tree
And wonder why you left me
I look at your name in stone
And feel the cold seep into my bones
The memories bring tears to my eyes
How I miss our willow tree
