Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was under a willow tree
Five years ago in Louisville
I danced with Daisy in my arms
And time stood still
It was clear she had her pick
Of any man in uniform
She kissed me and swore she'd never stray
But then the world got in the way
[PreChorus]
Fought a war, returned to see
Another fight in front of me
And now I must remind her of the love we left behind
Her words that night, the vow she said back then
I'll help her say again
One party left to throw
How could she say no?
[Chorus]
We'll go back to that kiss
To that row of willow trees
All the years that we missed
Will blow away with the breeze
They say you can't relive the past
But you know what I see?
Finally, the past
Is catching up to me
[Verse 2]
Some will shudder at what I've done
Or say that I have crossed a line
I tell you, every lavish night was by design
How to become the man her world demanded me to be
With only a nickel to my name
I've bet it all to get in the game
[PreChorus]
Had a past to rectify
Made that nickel multiply
It took no time to love her, just to be worthy of her
And though the years have passed us by
One memory survives
If she could see it too
But see it through my eyes
[Chorus]
We'll go back to that kiss
To that row of willow trees
All the years that we missed
Will blow away with the breeze
They say you can't relive the past
But you know what I see?
Finally the past is catching up to me
[Bridge]
Daisy always saw in me a man who knew his worth
Now that man can give her everything on Earth
Money can't buy happiness, no sir
But it brings you closer and closer and closer
[Chorus]
Take her back to that kiss
To that row of willow trees
All the years that we missed
Will blow away with the breeze
They say you can't relive the past
But I know what I see, and, oh
Finally the past
Finally the past
Finally the past is catching up to me
