The tears on my pillow I cried for you
And here, ‘neath the willow
I weep here too
In summertime
In wintertime
The whole year through
The river flows softly
I dream of you
Of you, oh
The tracks like a poem across the sky
Your love from the heavens
My lullaby
You sing to me so soothingly
And I know why I don’t have to worry
Or say goodbye
To you, oh
There’s a longing in me
A sweet longing to be with you
The tears on my pillow I cried for you
And here, ‘neath the willow
I weep here too
In summertime
In wintertime
The whole year through
The river flows softly
And leads to you
To you, oh
