Under the oak tree

My best friend lies

Under the oak tree

A part of me dies



You liked the sunshine

You loved the bed of snow in wintertime

Your innocence so blind

I wish we had time



Why did you go?

Why did you go?

I should have known

I should have known



Under the oak tree

Is my best friend's home

Under the oak tree

He lies all alone



I hope you understood

Things I meant to convey but never could

I thought you'd always be mine

I thought we had time



Why did you go?

Why did you go?

I should have known

I should have known



Once I realized the end

Coming near

Once I saw it in your eyes

I had to let you go
