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
