Laurel Lee

Verse 1:
As I watched the pale moon rising
And the purple sun go down
And I sat beneath our favorite willow tree
I couldn’t keep from crying
As I sat alone that night
I’m so lonesome now you’re gone my Laurel Lee

Chorus:
Oh Laurel Lee how I miss your tender smile
Laurel Lee if you’d come back for a while
I’ll never stand this life now you’re not here to share my dreams
I’m so lonesome now you’re gone my Laurel Lee

Verse 2:
I just can’t help but thinking
Of the times we had up here
And we’d share our love beneath our favorite tree
And we’d look out o’er the valley
And be happy as could be
I’m so lonesome now you’re gone my Laurel Lee

Chorus:
Oh Laurel Lee how I miss your tender smile
Laurel Lee if you’d come back for a while
I’ll never stand this life now you’re not here to share my dreams
I’m so lonesome now you’re gone my Laurel Lee
