I thought I saw you down by the willows
Where the shadows dance in the breeze
I thought I saw you there in the meadow
A glimpse through the weeping trees
The river murmurs secrets to the night
As the moon casts a silver hue
In the moonlight I hold you tight
Even though it can't be true
Willows whisper your name so faint
In the twilight shadows paint A silhouette of a love once known
Down by the willows I walk alone
The stars reflect on waters deep
Where memories in stillness lie
The willows' arms around me creep And in their sway I hear you sigh
Willows whisper your name so faint In the twilight
shadows paint
A silhouette of a love once known Down by the willows
I walk alone
Nightbirds call in mournful tones As I wander through the past
In every rustle your voice intones Whispering love will always last
Willows whisper your name so faint
In the twilight shadows paint A silhouette
of a love once known Down by the willows
I walk alone
Willows whisper your name so faint
In the twilight shadows paint A silhouette of a love once known
Down by the willows
I walk alone Down by the willows I walk alone Down by the willows
