I watched the clouds form overhead
Turned on the radio
And listened to the storm reports
While I prepared our home
I closed the windows and pulled the blinds
Went to the safest room
And wondered when the storm would pass
And will the dogwoods bloom?

You always knew we'd find a house
That had two dogwood trees
And every spring we'd catch the bloom
That only lasted two weeks
But like the flowers that fade so fast
You were called too soon
We hoped that there would still be time
To see the dogwoods bloom

I waited for the storm to break
And went to check outside
But only one lone dogwood stood
Beside its fallen bride
That's when I thought I might have caught
A trace of her perfume
As if it lingered in the air
Down where the dogwoods bloomed
