"Weeping Willow" a song written by Pauline Villanueva She goes to her room, Sits and cries. She's so lonesome. She wants to die. "What good is life," she asks, "when nobody wants you? How do you forget When your past always haunts you?" Weeping Willow, Crying for me. Weeping Willow, Trying to be Someone she's not And it's giving her pain. Weeping Willow, You don't have to change. She wakes up at night And she broods About her memories, About her childhood. She remembers the screaming And the abuse. She recalls crying and praying For God to let her loose. Weeping Willow. All alone. Weeping Willow Nowhere to call home. I'm here for you. Don't give up just yet. Weeping Willow Your cheeks are so wet. She tries to get up. She can't cry anymore. But she's overwhelmed And crumples to the floor. She says she's no good, Making me suffer this way. But I love her And I'm going to stay. Weeping Willow. Don't cry for me. Weeping Willow. Don't die on me. I need you and I'll help you. Everything will be all right. Weeping Willow Don't leave this world tonight. ADDITIONAL VERSE: Weeping Willow Trembles at my touch. Weeping Willow Been through so much. Close your eyes now. Get some sleep While I pray to the Lord Your soul to keep.   This The Filipino Writers Web Ring site owned by Pauline Villanueva.
