Old Oak Tree

Old Oak Tree, Do you remember me Tell me, do you remember me After all those nights And those many lives Do you, still remember me, For it wasn't that long When I was here Huddling, under your shade You protected me, I confided in you Every April and May. Old Oak Tree, Old, old friend Seems like you've always been here You quieten my tears, You hushed my fears, When I, was all alone. Do you remember that time When I had my knife And I carved my name right there It never bothered you But for me, it soothed Knowing, for me you cared, For you were my friend That I never had Which I needed, oh so bad Just to confide unto And then cry unto And I did, for only you I had. Old Oak Tree Dear old friend Now, I will say goodbye, For now I must go Before to you I show How a Man, does really cry For now only you are left To the family that I had, Now, I don't feel so sad For when I am alone And I need someone else I will talk to you, My old, old friend. Old Oak Tree Goodbye my friend Now I'll blow with the wind Always you will be here With problems to hear When the world, is so confused, But you will answer them all And then in fall You'll show colors, that you are So now I must go But before I leave I will say goodbye, my Old Oak Tree.
