lyrics

In the springtime, oh what beauty
You shared with all you knew
And the colors of your flowers
Inspired us to blossom too
Every year as saplings surfaced
Spreading their own leaves to the sun
You nurtured and provided for each tender one
We’ll remember you in springtime

In the summer of our lives
When drought threatened to defeat
The cover of your branches
Offered shelter from the heat
And when we were prone to wandering
Stepping off the tracks
Home was always found with your trunk against our backs
We’ll remember you in summer

And in the fall
The greatest gift you gave in all your days
Was to show us all what it is to die
With beauty and with grace
In selfless love you dropped your leaves
For us to take and hold
Giving each one time to say goodbye
And brace us for the cold
We’ll remember you in autumn

It’s winter now
We miss your colors
Flowers, shade and leaves
Empty branches are no cover
For those who stand beneath to grieve
Yet gentle tree, if in your lifetime
You taught us anything
It’s that life will always triumph
When winter’s death gives life to spring
We’ll remember you
In winter, in autumn, in summer and springtime.
