Under The Willow Tree

Under The Willow Tree

In a plush, green meadow
In the afternoon sun
A hansome young Soldier
Awaits his beloved one,
For 60 years he's been sitting
Under the Willow tree
Knowing that one day
His girl too, would be free,

He wears the same khaki uniform
That he wore to say goodbye
When she was in black
With a tear in her eye,
Then the love sick Soldier
Forgets those lost years
As he sees a figure in the distance
Who waves as she nears,

Her elegant posture
Remains unchanged
As she glides to her soulmate
In the spot they'd arranged,
With her warm arms around him
They feel they've never been apart
While he'd waited with the angels
And she'd stayed true to her heart,

In the plush, green meadow
Where they met in 1934
The reunited lovers
Remain for ever more,
Now the story ends
Under the Willow tree,
The hansome young Soldier
And the old lady.
