Willow Tree
Let me be your weeping willow tree
Surround you with my long limbs
My dear, Let me grow in the shade
In the sands by the bank of your river
Let I drink from your streams
The cool breeze fill my leaves
We will sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
Sweet river caress how softly
Stir my searching roots
Shading the sun in the summers heat
Let I cool you
We have been dancing so long
In the winters freeze and the summers drought
We survive
We belong
Let us sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll be by your side forever
I wish I was your weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
Let us sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
Let us sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
We can sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
Let me be
Your willow tree
Your willow tree
Surround you with my long limbs
My dear, Let me grow in the shade
In the sands by the bank of your river
Let I drink from your streams
The cool breeze fill my leaves
We will sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
Sweet river caress how softly
Stir my searching roots
Shading the sun in the summers heat
Let I cool you
We have been dancing so long
In the winters freeze and the summers drought
We survive
We belong
Let us sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll be by your side forever
I wish I was your weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
I wish I was a weeping willow tree
Let us sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
Let us sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
We can sing together
Water over the pebbles
And I'll stand by your side forever
Let me be
Your willow tree
Your willow tree
