Willow tree by the sea

 Where the gods lie,

How I love to look at you

 With all my aching eye

Winter comes, winter kills,

Let it go by

There'll be better days

Willow

 Don't cry

Little star, shine afar

 In the dark sky

You're the one I'm wishing on

 With all my weary might

Tell the trees, if you please

That it's alright

There'll be better days

Willow

 Don't cry

River bend

River sigh

 River so wide

Wash away the worry

 From my lonely heart tonight

Lover comes

Lover goes

Let him go by

There'll be better days

Willow

 Don't cry
