Innocent as first light of the morning We swore our hearts together with a kiss And you were down on bended knee and underneath that willow tree I was delivered from my loneliness Eager as the summer buds the flower We planned and dreamed of seasons still to come And nearby to that willow tree we raised ourselves a family Years flew by but days went on and on I was born underneath the weeping willow tree That is where I swore my love to thee I was born underneath the weeping willow tree The only thing I know for certain is one day I'll be free Sudden as a cold front in September A sleep came on from which you did not wake I laid your body finally beneath that weeping willow tree In my dreams I reach out for your face I was born underneath the weeping willow tree That is where I swore my love to thee I was born underneath the weeping willow tree The only thing I know for certain is one day I'll be free
