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 oh, so blue.
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,
One heart for her ——— and one heart for me.
But then we wed ——— we wed between two trees,
Between two trees ——— we vowed till eternity;
The trees looked down ——— looked down as though to say,
God bless your love ——— on this your wedding day.
Between two trees ——— the years have swiftly flown,
Have swiftly flown ——— now I am all alone;
But I have my book ——— my book of memories,
Of the one who sleeps ——— she sleeps between two trees.
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,
One heart for her ——— and one heart for me.
One heart for her ——— and one heart for me.
