Little tree, little tree
I chose you because you were like me
Little tree, little tree
You were no bigger than my knee
Your leaves were tiny
Your limbs brittle
But you will not always remain so little
Little tree, little tree
In the winter you almost left me
Spring, summer and fall
I held you through them all
Little tree, little tree
You are now taller than me
Little tree, little tree
I had my first kiss
Underneath your heart shaped leaves
Little tree, little tree
When my heart first broke
In your arms I loved to stay
Until my sadness went away
Little tree, little tree
Look how big you have come to be
Little tree, little tree
I wonder how long you will stay with me
Little tree, little tree
Under your presence I celebrated my wedding day
Little tree, little tree
Will you like the pitter patter of tiny feet?
For a baby girl you will soon meet
And with her another little tree
Little tree, little tree
my strength is growing weak
Little tree, little tree
One day soon you will have to go on without me
Little tree, my little tree
To me you have always been dear
A goodbye I will say with my final tear
Little tree, little tree
My mother's beloved little tree
Mother now rests peacefully
Underneath your heart shaped leaves
