| 1. Oh, Lord, why did you send the darkness to me ? Are the shadows forever to be ? Where's the light I'm longing to see ? Oh, love once we met by old willow tree Now you've gone and left nothing to me Nothing but a sweet memory Oh, Willow, weep for me Oh, Willow, weep for me Bend your branches green, along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea listen willow and weep for me. Gone my lover's dream, lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be hear me willow and weep for me. Whisper to the wind And say that love has sinned To leave my heart a-breaking and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide her starry light So none will find me sighing and crying all alone. Oh, weeping willow tree weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground a cover me When the shadows fall bend oh willow and weep for me. 2. Oh, Lord, is that sweet spell of rapture divine, Tha I thought would forever be mine Never more upon me to shine ? Oh, love here I wait by the willow again With a heart that knows nothing but pain But I know I'm waiting in vain ! Oh, Willow, weep for me .... |
