Let me tell you a story
One they stopped telling long ago
Let me tell you a story
One I think you need to know

Let me tell you a story
One that started with the rain
Let me tell you a story
One to wash away my pain

Let me tell you a story
One where grew a seed
Let me tell you a story
One in which it grew to a tree

Let me tell you a story
One filled with beautiful spring
Let me tell you a story
One with birds that used to sing

Let me tell you a story
One of lovely lakes and rivers
Let me tell you a story
One with mountains where people shivered

Let me tell you a story
One of loss and one of love
Let me tell you a story
One where we used to watch the doves

Let me tell you a story
One so I can fall asleep
Let me tell you a story
One I truly hope you keep

Let me tell you a story
One before it all went wrong
Let me tell you a story
One when we used to sing our songs

Let me tell you a story
One with family and friends
Let me tell you a story
One before the quiet's end

Let me tell you a story
One with forests and with seas
Let me tell you a story
One when we loved the bees

Let me tell you a story
One before the World was ours
Let me tell you a story
One where I used to see the stars

Let me tell you a story
