I walked alone on a quiet day
with only the sound
of the trees that sway
Along came a girl
so sweet, so fair,
Singing a song I'd heard nowhere
I stopped in my tracks
and I did stare
my heart it beat, my mind it cleared
She kept right along, so unaware
her beauty had stunned a man
unfair
I watched her go
and felt my heart grow
to fit all the pain of a life unknown
now she's a girl
that's gone for me
the trees, they sway
as I'm humming.

I walked alone on a quiet day
with only the sound
of the trees that sway
Along came a girl
so sweet, so fair,
Singing a song I'd heard nowhere
I stopped in my tracks
and I did stare
my heart it beat, my mind it cleared
She kept right along, so unaware
her beauty had stunned a man
unfair
I watched her go
and felt my heart grow
to fit all the pain of a life unknown
now she's a girl
that's gone for me
the trees, they sway
as I'm humming.
