3. Song Title: “Underneath the Willow”

4. Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Underneath the willow, where the secrets lay,
We were just two shadows, hiding from the day.
Guess we were dreamers, or maybe just fools,
Believing in a world, where love overrules.

(Chorus)
Underneath the willow, we found our sweet escape,
In the whispered promises, in the vows we’d make.
Underneath that willow, in the cool night’s kiss,
We discovered a world of love, a world of bliss.

(Verse 2)
The summer sky above us, a blanket of blue,
In that moment, all I wanted was you.
Who knew it then, that our love would bloom,
Underneath the willow, beneath the moon’s soft gloom.

(Chorus)
Underneath the willow, we danced in the night,
Lost in the melody, of our heart’s delight.
Underneath that willow, with stars as our guide,
We found a love that’s true, a love that won’t hide.

(Bridge)
They say love is fleeting, like a falling star,
But our love keeps beating, no matter where we are.
Underneath the willow, or in city’s glare,
Our love keeps singing, a song beyond compare.

(Chorus)
Underneath the willow, we found a place to be,
A place where we’re just you and me.
Underneath that willow, our love story unfurled,
In this crazy, beautiful, wonderful world.
