A Forest Of Trees

      I started for a walk today

      I thought the woods would clear my head

      And as I breathed the morning air

      I thought of all the things you said



      I lingered by the babbling brook

      Your words running through my mind

      The beauty of this peaceful place

      Took me back to other times



      I watched the birds flit gaily by

      I saw the busy bees

      They paid no mind to a lonely girl

      Lost in the forest of trees



      I thought of days gone by

      When our love was new and the world felt good

      I remembered the wildflowers you picked for me

      When last we walked through the summer woods



      Yes, I started for a walk today

      With just my memories

      And here by this brook I sit and I cry

      Alone in this forest of trees



      I feel the cool breeze as the brook rushes by

      Babbling like the words in my head

      No matter how much I may yearn for you still

      You ended our love with the words that you said



      Yesterday's gone.. like our love, it's all over

      But today, in this forest, the sun still shines thru

      Bringing hope for a better tomorrow

      I'll let go of your words.. but hold on to the memory of you

      Here in this forest of trees



      Now.. I must say goodbye and get on with my life

      But my time with you was such splendor

      Each time I see a forest of trees

      It's you my heart will remember
