Two Hearts On A Tree - 1934

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 15 Jul 2001

It happen'd when we'd barely
pass'd our childhood,
we must have been just seventeen,
When hand in hand we wander'd
thro' the wild wood
and made a vow that's broken now;
We seal'd our promise
with a lover's sign,
Two hearts upon a tree,
your heart and mine.

We used to be playmates and then when we grew
Remember I found my first sweetheart in you?
We thought it was love without end
when we drew, two hearts on a tree;
I smile when I think of the fun that we got,
in keeping a secret that wonderful spot,
how madly we loved but how soon we forgot
two hearts on a tree.
The other day I walk'd that way, dear,
for the first time in years;
the woods were strange, they'd seen a change, dear,
that fill'd my eyes with tears;
the branches are bare now that used to be green,
and leaves hide the pathway that wander'd between,
and all that remains of that great "might have been",
Two Hearts On A Tree.

I can't believe I've left romance behind me,
that time has flown, and I'm alone,
Two hearts upon a tree will still remind me
of other days and other ways;
What if we parted company for good?
Our hearts are still together in the wood.
