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
