lyrics

the ground was turned this afternoon
the spot beneath the old weeping willow
heads were hung in heavy sighs
and tears were had with long goodbyes

and the children would find
their mother a-crying lying upon the floor
comforting her their words they would soothe her
saying mama don't ya worry no more

but the father he heard their prayers offered
up to the heavens above
and the angels they sang with glorious praise
to the ones they loved, to the ones they loved

the children went to school each day
dragging one foot and then the other
the days were short the nights were long
their hearts they wept for each other

oh but they moved on and the wife she re-married
oh but things were just not the same
for once a heart has known one true lover
sometimes it just can't be changed
