O tree on the shore of a pond so divine,
Reach out and leave the world behind.
Reach out and leave the world behind.
Red, red leaves cover your face,
O may they never fall in place.
O may they never fall in place.
Wave your arms; blow me a kiss.
Laying here beside you is pure bliss.
Across the water your reflections show;
I see your face and it makes me glow.
Some see you stagnant, a still life, just a tree,
But I see you in the water, flowing and free.
Reflections of you ripple through my mind,
Shimmering, meandering, glowing, and kind.
One constant blush that never ends,
You show your feelings and I soak in.
When you are naked and bare,
Your beauty is lost in the cold, thin air.
I can't see you that way; I must look away.
I see the best in you, nothing less every day.
Till next season, till next year,
Remain here, in my mind, my dear.
Remain here, in my mind, my dear.
