Willow willow tree
Your hairlike branches sway
Tickling my nose
And making me sneeze
Willow willow tree
Your soft rasping
As your branches touch
Are a lullaby to my ears
Willow willow tree
Your emerald teardrops
Fall to shade my face from view
Keeping me in our safe world
Willow willow tree
I planted you long ago
And watched as you grew
A seedling to an elderly tree
Willow willow tree
You might outlive me
But I'll never outlive you
You keep me together
Willow willow tree
My anchor in a churning sea
My shadow when I'm alone
A friend to share secrets with
Willow willow tree
A seed in my heart
Laid anchored and rooted deep
I cannot take you out
