WHISPERING WILLOW
by Jim Reeves
(Recorded mid-1953)
Whispering willow
Standing alone
Holding a secret
That shall never be known
Dreams of the future
Plans for a home
I stand 'neath your branches
With no love of my own
Your branches are weeping
I think I know why
A lover's sad story
Has caused you to cry
If I told our secret
Then our tears would dry
For the lover who's lonely
Dear willow, is I
Is it dear willow
'Cause winter is neigh
Your branches are weeping
Like a bird that can't fly
Or is it my story
That's caused you cry
We'll keep our secret
Lonely willow and I
