Oaks
(Johan Bengtsson)
I wanted to write
A song about
The place
Where we first kissed
I wanted it to be
Beautiful and glad
But all I came up with
Was this
Oh, do you remember the oaks?
Were they the same as the ones in your dream?
And do you remember the kiss?
Is it the same, we’ll repeat on our wedding day?
For what I find
I do keep
If I find it as good as this
And I found you
And you found me
Under the oaks
Under the oaks
I wanted to write you a song
In remembrance of the place where we kissed
I wanted to write you a song
That would give you a moment of bliss
A melody…
But it disappeared
In my immense
Reverence of the oaks
That played our songs
It’s still playing
They’re still singing
Waving their leaves
In waiting for
Our wedding day
