Ashley Hutchings and Judy Dunlop — The willow lyrics

Lyrics

It was underneath the weeping willow tree
Where you swore undying love for me
How sweet the promise that could never be
How sweet the dream we never came to see
I sat beneath the willow tree and wept
For promises we made and never kept
A tear for every footstep as you left
Beneath the willow tree I sat and wept
Who can know the thoughts or reasons of the heart
That tear a love to pieces and apart
That leaves a stone where once a flower grew
That turns the world a deeper shade of blue
I sat beneath the willow tree and wept
For promises we made and never kept
A tear for every footstep as you left
Beneath the willow tree I sat and wept
It was underneath our weeping willow tree
She lay within your arms so peacefully
I stood upon the hill and watched you there
You never saw me through her golden hair
I sat beneath the willow tree and wept
For promises we made and never kept
A tear for every footstep as you left
Beneath the willow tree I sat and wept
Beneath our willow tree I sat and wept
