Noirsville Tune of the Week

 Billie Holliday 


Willow Weep 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

And hide her starry light

So none will find me sighing

Crying all alone


Weeping willow tree

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down

Along the ground and cover me

Listen to me plea

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

And hide her starry light

So none will find me sighing

Crying all alone


Weeping willow tree

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down

Along the ground and cover me

Listen to my plea

Hear me willow and

Weep for me


Willow

Willow

Weep for me
