Lyrics

  1. Between two trees
    There lies a story true
    A story true
    That I will tell to you
    ‘Twas there that I
    First fell in love with Sue
    Her hair was gold
    Her eyes were blue
  2. Between two trees
    We kissed as lovers do
    As lovers do
    Who know their love is true
    We carved a heart
    A heart deep in each tree
    A heart for Sue, a heart for me
  3. And when we wed
    We wed beneath the trees
    Beneath the trees
    We vowed eternities
    The trees looked down
    And smiled as though to say
    “God bless your love
    Upon this wedding day”
  4. Between two trees
    The years have swiftly flown
    The trees are bare
    And I am all alone
    I close the book
    My book of memories
    Of one who sleeps
    Between two trees
