Under The Weeping Willow

I saw you when we were kids

Playing with blocks on the kindergarten floor

We grew up

You became a beauty

I became a geek

I never had the never had the nerve to talk to you

Then we met

Under the weeping willow down on the shores of the river

We met, we held hands and we kissed

That old weeping willow shed its tears

The willow's tears that flowed in happiness

We had found the love we both wanted

I proposed and we wed

Promising to share our lives from then on

Never to part

I saw the love in your eyes

The geek married the beauty

And the rest of our lives began

Under the weeping will down on the shores of the river

We shared our vows

The rings shined on our finger

That old weeping willow shed its tears

The willow's tears that flowed in happiness

We had found the forever we both wanted

Our baby was born on a summer day

The sun was warm and the breeze gentle

She was named willow

And she smiled at the sun shining through the leaves

She loves her mother and father

All the love in the world could be seen in her eyes

Under the weeping will down on the shores of the river

We were the perfect family

A beautiful little girl with a future of love ahead

She brought pure happiness into our lives

That old weeping willow shed its tears

The willow's tears that flowed in happiness

We had found the family we both wanted

That winter the love of my life died

She went to sleep

She answered God's call

All her prayers would be answered

I am sure that she was welcomed to Heaven

And given a beautiful pair of wings

Under the weeping will down on the shores of the river

I laid her body to rest

A beautiful love that will last forever

She is smiling because she was loved

That old weeping willow shed its tears

The willow's tears that flowed in sadness

The love of my life was gone
