Willow Tree

Let me be your weeping willow tree\nSurround you with my long limbs\nMy dear, let me grow in the shade\nIn the sands by the bank of your river\nLet I drink from your streams\nThe cool breeze fill my leaves\nWe will sing together\nWater over the pebbles\nAnd I’ll be by your side forever\nI wish I was a weeping willow tree\nI wish I was a weeping willow tree\nI wish I was a weeping willow tree\nSweet river caress how softly\nStir my searching roots\nShading the sun in the summers heat\nLet I cool you\nWe have been dancing so long\nIn the winters freeze and the summers drought\nWe survive\nWe belong\nLet us sing together\nWater over the pebbles\nAnd I’ll be by your side forever\nI wish I was your weeping willow tree\nI wish I was a weeping willow tree\nI wish I was a weeping willow tree\nLet us sing together\nWater over the pebbles\nAnd I’ll be by your side forever\nLet us sing together\nWater over the pebbles\nAnd I’ll be by your side forever\nWe can sing together\nWater over the pebbles\nAnd I’ll be by your side forever\nLet me be\nYour willow tree\nYour willow tree
