Lyrics
Something pretty
I haven't finished my act though
Well, okay daddy, I gotta finish my act here, alright
Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches down along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me
Gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer's dream
Gone and left me here to cry my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love is sin
To leave my heart a-breaking and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Hear me willow and weep for me
Willow weep for me
Weep for me
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Hear me willow and weep, weep, weep for me
(Yeah)
Gone, my lover's dream
Lovely summer's dream
Gone and left me here to cry my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love is sin
To leave my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone
Weep willow, weep for me
Hovering your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, listen willow and weep for me
Weep for me
Oh, weep for me
I say weep for me
Bend your branches, bend your branches
C'mon and weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep
Weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep
Weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you so much
