By the Willow
Russ Parrish
Red wine by the fire under moonlight
We fell in love that way
Slow dancing around in circles
One perfect night in May
The years would come and go
And we'd find different roads
But when you came home
From your time alone
I was waiting by the willow for you
White dress and a garden of roses
We stood beneath the tree
Whispering words of devotion
Both our vows to keep
The years would come and go
And our love would grow
From when your heart made my home
Past its time alone
When I waited by the willow for you
We'd sit on the porch in the evenings
As the sunlight would fade
Looking back at each moment
Of this life we made
The years would come and go
And I'd lay down below
So when you come home
From your time alone
I'll be waiting by the willow for you
