Bring Me To the Willow Lyrics

I once saw a willow with a heart upon it's side

2 letters in the middle for a future groom and bride

My hope was for a love that not a million moons could dim

A hand to hold from new to old and peace belong with them

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

That would send me off to you

I searched for a maiden that was elegant and fair

The kind you show so people know that nothing can compare

And when the journey finished with no lady to adore

I sat and cried and swore that I'd be looking nevermore

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

That would send me off to you

Evening came upon me as my pity slowly went

But the toll it had been taken since my vigor had been spent

Just when I had given up on love until my death

I found a gal by the canal who stole my very breath

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

That would send me off to you

Her hair was smooth as satin and with quite a lovely sheen

Her eyes were like two precious stones no man had ever seen

We went to town for spirits to confirm I had a catch

With just a few I surely knew that I had met my match

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

That would send me off to you

We started growing fonder as the hours turned to days

I seemed to fall in love with her a thousand different ways

I found the strength to ask her if her lovely lips would mind

I held the miss we shared a kiss and never looked behind

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

That would send me off to you

One thing led to others and then others led to rings

Made angels in the winters and grew gardens in the springs

Years would pass but somehow she'd grow prettier with each

With confidence and jubilance that scholars couldn't teach

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

That would send me off to you

The memories were plenty and the laughs we couldn't count

Our challenges were many but we always would surmount

I think of who we were before the time had done us in

But there's no man or woman that I'd rather us have been

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

Bring me to the willow

That would send me off to you

I came back to the willow that was claimed by you and I

The heart as clear as ever showed our love would never die

The journey here is fleeting and I'm only passing through

It's time I let the willow finally send me off to you
