On An Old Beech Tree

Two names on an old beech tree,

Who are we kiddin’, it’s you and me

We were walking the North Huron tract

So in love and that’s a fact

I led because it was my familiar way

You found it such a special day

I’d left a spot for you to make your mark

Since then we’ve hiked in daylight and dark

Two names on an old beech tree,

Oh honey, it’s always gonna be, you and me.

That old tree is scarred and worn

Many names on its bark, marked and torn

I’d walked that way so often, sad and alone

Sometimes cheerful, but sometimes forlorn

Praying for another compassionate heart

And I knew right from the start

That first time that I saw you smile

I knew there would never be another lonely mile

Two names on an old beech tree,

Ah, Honey, it really is just you and me.
