Willow tree
By the seine
Where the gods lie
How I love to look at you
With all my aching eye
Winter comes
Winter kills
Let it go by
There'll be better days
Willow, don't cry
Little stars
Shine afar
In the dark sky
You're the one I'm wishing on
With all my weary might
Tell the trees
If you please
That it's all right
There'll be better days
Willow, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
River bend
River sigh
River so wide
Wash away the worry
From my weary heart tonight
Love comes
Lover goes
Let him go by
There'll be better days
Willow, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
By the seine
Where the gods lie
How I love to look at you
With all my aching eye
Winter comes
Winter kills
Let it go by
There'll be better days
Willow, don't cry
Little stars
Shine afar
In the dark sky
You're the one I'm wishing on
With all my weary might
Tell the trees
If you please
That it's all right
There'll be better days
Willow, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
River bend
River sigh
River so wide
Wash away the worry
From my weary heart tonight
Love comes
Lover goes
Let him go by
There'll be better days
Willow, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
