Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song for my aging parents. Their minds are healthy, but their bodies are deteriorating, and it pains me to see this. I know they wish they could do all the things they could when they were younger.

Lyrics
Weeping Willow
(rev. 12.20.06, Lyrics by Lori J. Werch, Music & Vocals by Holly Collison)
Chorus
Weeping Willow
Dance for me
I am old
Dance for me
Weeping Willow
Stand for me
I am old
Stand for me
Weeping Willow
Breathe for me
I am old
Breathe for me
Weeping Willow
Live for me
I am old
Live for me
Verse
Laying here beneath you
Under skies so blue
When I was young
I swung from you
Verse
Surround me with your arms
Protect me from the rains
Let me rest beneath
Free from aging pains
½ Chorus
Weeping Willow
Dance for me
I am old
Dance for me
Weeping Willow
Stand for me
I am old
Stand for me
Verse
Shelter me from the cold
Breathe for me dear Willow
For I have grown old
Won?t you breathe for me?
Verse
Let me lay beneath you
Let me lay beneath you
Let me lay beneath you
Under skies so blue
Repeat Chorus
