Lyrics
You spent most of the day
Waiting for me
So I hoped and I prayed
That you'd agree
We can't be together tonight
Under the ol' walnut tree
You're sitting there
Alone in the moonlight
I'm over here
Anxious and uptight
I hate that I won't make it tonight
Under the ol' walnut tree
I'd hold you in my arms
Keep you from harm
My sweet my lonely turtle dove
Alas I'm too shy
For you to rely on for love
All my love
Whoa oh oh
While we're apart
I'll search for the words of my heart
I'll send them along
In the song of a lark
For now there cannot be a spark
Under the ol' walnut tree
(spoken lines)
I hate I won't make it tonight
Under the ol' walnut tree
