The trees join hands and say hello,
And suddenly everywhere we go
The sun
Beams through in fun.

The leaves form patterns like a heart,
And whisper forever, "Never part,
Be true,
'Cause I love you!".

Shadows write words of love across our path;
Birds sing, how lucky those who love just grows together!

Blades of grass stand on and on
And chatter together in a calm
That's green
And so serene,
A memory of
Our walk of love.

In a dream a stream goes by,
Reflecting a message from the sky
Above,
And here and there we look around,
To see other lovers who have found
Their way.

Crickets tap out their symphony in code;
Rabbits run helter-skelter, finding shelter here.

And flowers swaying in the breeze
Look up to the branches of the trees
And sing,
As birds take wing.
All this is true,
'Cause I love you!
'Cause I love you!
'Cause I love you!
'Cause I love you!
