The Old Oak Tree versuri

Versuri AI_CreationsTV – The Old Oak Tree lyrics

Down by the river where the wild flowers grew
There was a winding path that only we knew
We’d run through the meadows till daylight was gone
And the whole world listened when we’d sing our songs

No riches to speak of, no grand plans to make
Just dreams in our pockets and all to wake
Back when forever seemed easy to see
In the shade of that old oak tree

Oh, take me back to the old oak tree
And the old schoolyard where our hearts ran free
Where laughter echoed on the summer breeze
And life moved slow like falling leaves

On an old oak tree where names were carved
No phone, just song, we were safe from harm
Summer days were much brighter then
Now this weary old heart longs to return again

We chased the sunset down dusty lanes
Through evenings calm, free from worry and pain
Though years have carried us far from where we’ve been
This weary old heart longs to return again

Take me back to the old oak tree
And the old schoolyard where our hearts ran free
Where laughter echoed on the summer breeze
And time moved slow like falling leaves

I trade today for one more chance
One summer’s day, one final dance
To hear those voices, wild and free
Still calling out from that old tree

Oh, take me back to the old oak tree
And the old schoolyard where our hearts ran free
Where laughter echoed on the summer breeze
And life moved slow like falling leaves

Beneath the branches of that old oak tree
That’s where my heart will always be
