The Oak And The Laurel

The oak and the laurel, they grow side by side

In the valley down by a clear stream

It was there that he asked me to be his sweet bride

And together, we'd live out our dreams

Together, we'd live out our dreams

The oak and the laurel

Ooh

Share my joy and sorrow

Ooh

The oak, it is a mighty tree, so calm and so strong

And it dares to stand fast in the wind

But the laurel has leaves that shiver with each breeze

With their sweet scent, your heart she will win

With their sweet scent, your heart she will win

My love seemed like the oak tree, so tall and so strong

And I thought that his heart would be fair

And his words when he spoke were as sweet in their sound

As the laurel's sweet scent in the air

As the laurel's sweet scent in the air

The oak and the laurel

Ooh

Share my joy and sorrow

Ooh

Now the oak and the laurel still grow side by side

In the valley down by a clear stream

It was there that we parted, my false love and I

And it's there that I'll bury my dreams

It's there that I'll bury my dreams

The oak and the laurel

Ooh

Share my joy and sorrow

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
