Thinking of all the years gone by

There were many times, many opportunities.

From all of these is one that stands out in time -

About a girl from the east side of town.

Never a clue to what she felt, If it meant anything as it did to me.

Never a hint from the moves, It flowed from our hearts –

was all it could do

Under the old elm tree

Were some of my best memories.

The scent of her hair, the taste of her lips

Under the old elm tree.

If I could make only one wish I'd wish

for the days under the old elm.

Holding that girl in my arms

All the cares in the world would be gone.

Back under the old elm tree

Let's make some new memories.

The look in your eyes, the touch of your kiss

Under the old elm tree.

Under the old elm tree

Were some of my best memories.

The scent of her hair, the taste of her lips

Under the old elm tree.
Back under the old elm tree,

Back under the old elm tree.
