I can hear the sound of laughter
Cross the river swinging low
Eating ice cream in the treehouse
Making angels in the snow

Who am I to question how it’s supposed to end
I’m just a willow in the wind

One more night will you hold me
Too many miles in between
Three little words that we never said out loud
For what you mean to me

I thought the snow would last forever
Our angel wings beneath the trees
Dissolved like ice cream in the sunshine
A fleeting taste of something sweet

Who am I to question how it’s supposed to end
I’m just a willow in the wind

One more night will you hold me
Too many miles in between
Three little words that we never said out loud
For what you mean to me

Were we dreaming or lost in wonder
To hold our hopes all in our hands
Almost lovers lost with each other
Two kids without a plan
