The shadows of the new dawn
Stretching over the meadow lawns
Reflecting the colors through the shimmering leaves
Of the grand old Willow Tree
My mind journey's back to my young years
Where as children we would play
Beneath the boughs with no fears
The games and laughter would echo in the air
The fun filled times when we played right there
As the years passed by day by day
And in time when I came of age
My first love took my breath away
On the dusk of a beautiful spring day
He engraved his love upon my soul
And into the trunk of that Willow Tree now so old
Now my hair with a silver sheen
l look back down that meadow ever so green
With warm memories I cherish of that time now long past
To that old grand Old Willow Tree
Reminding me of the beautiful times that have been
I now hold close within my heart to dream
