THE WHIPPOORWILL

The night was young and so were we,
Beneath the old magnolia tree
And as you said "I love you so"
The whippoorwill sang sweet and low.

The moon was low, out hearts were high,
You said "I will, until I die"
And while we kissed beneath the tree
The whippoorwill sang happily.

  Poor whippoorwill, the tree is bare.
  He wonders still why you're not there

While all alone beneath the tree,
Where once you pledged your love to me,
My lonely heart cries out for you
The whippoorwill is crying too.
The whippoorwill is crying too.
