Between Two Trees
(The dashes in the lines below represent the
short pauses in the lines when singing the song.)

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 you --- and --- one heart for me

And then we wed --- we wed between two trees
Between two trees --- we vowed till eternity
The trees looked down --- looked down as if to say
God bless your love --- on this your wedding day

Between two trees --- the years have swiftly flown
Have swiftly flown --- and 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 you --- and --- one heart for me
