Under The Old Elm Tree
Thinking of all the years gone by
There were many times, many opportunities.
From all of these is one that stands out in time -
About a girl from the east side of town.
Never a clue to what she felt,
If it meant anything as it did to me.
Never a hint from the moves,
It flowed from our hearts – was all it could do.
Under the old elm tree
Were some of my best memories.
The scent of her hair, the taste of her lips
Under the old elm tree.
If I could make only one wish
I'd wish for the days under the old elm.
Holding that girl in my arms
All the cares in the world would be gone.
Back under the old elm tree
Let's make some new memories.
The look in your eyes, the touch of your kiss
Under the old elm tree.
Under the old elm tree
Were some of my best memories.
The scent of her hair, the taste of her lips
Under the old elm tree.
Back under the old elm tree,
Back under the old elm tree.
