Willow Weep for Me - Benny Weinbeck

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 lovers dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep 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 has sinned To leave my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will find me sighing and crying all alone Ohh weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, bend all willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned To leave my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will find me sighing and crying all alone Ohh willow weep for me Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, bend all willow and weep for me For me

Willow, weep for me Willow, weep for me Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to my plea Hear me, willow, and weep for me Gone my lovely dreams Lovely summer dreams Gone and left me here To weep my tears along the stream Sad as I can be Hear me, willow, and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned To leave my heart a sign And crying alone Murmur to the night Hide her starry light So none will find me sighing Crying all alone Weeping willow tree Weeping sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to me plea Hear me, willow, and weep for me Willow Willow Weep for me

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody Haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale Tells his fairytale Of paradise, where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain.

My days have grown so lonely For you I cry, for you dear only Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you body and soul I spend my days in longin' I'm wondering why it's me you're wronging I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul I can't believe it It's hard to conceive it That you'd throw away romance Are you pretending It looks like the ending Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear My life a hell you're making You know I'm yours for just the taking I'd gladly surrender Myself to you body and soul What lies before me A future that's stormy A winter that's gray and cold Unless there's magic the end will be tragic And therefor a tale that's been told so often My life revolves about you What earthly good am I without you Oh I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul
