I don't need the family album
to picture the joys of yesteryear.
I don't need an old love letter
I have a better souvenir.

There's an old oak tree
full of memories for me,
of a sweetheart long ago.
After school we'd stroll
till the close of day,
and that old oak tree
was our hide away.
There are two hearts there
that we carved with tender care
for the whole world wide to see
and our schoolday love
lingers like the moon above
on the old oak tree.

There's an old oak tree
full of memories for me,
of a sweetheart long ago.
After school we'd stroll
till the close of day,
and that old oak tree
was our hide away.
There are two hearts there
that we carved with tender care
for the whole world wide to see
and our schoolday love
lingers like the moon above
on the old oak tree.

Somewhere in the shady woodland
there's one of my sweetest souvenirs;
just a little old love token
a charm unbroken through the years.

There's an old oak tree
full of memories for me,
of a sweetheart long ago.
After school we'd stroll
till the close of day,
and that old oak tree
was our hide away.
There are two hearts there
that we carved with tender care
for the whole world wide to see
and our schoolday love
lingers like the moon above
on the old oak tree.

There's an old oak tree
full of memories for me,
of a sweetheart long ago.
After school we'd stroll
till the close of day,
and that old oak tree
was our hide away.
There are two hearts there
that we carved with tender care
for the whole world wide to see
and our schoolday love
lingers like the moon above
on the old oak tree.
