'Twas down by the river I met him
Under the old willow tree
The wind in the willow was crying
Didn't know it was crying for me
Wispering wind, don't whisper to me
Let me forget my misery
Whispering wind, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be
I remember the night that we parted
We kissed and I heard him sigh
Didn't know twas the last time I'd see him
Even though he was saying goodby
Wispering wind, don't whisper to me
Let me forget my misery
Whispering wind, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be
And now when I walk by the river
Alone with my memories
The wind in the willow is crying
And I know it is crying for me
Wispering wind, don't whisper to me
Let me forget my misery
Whispering wind, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be
Of a love that can never be
