*By the Water's Edge
They met at a little lake
When she was just six years old
Each summer they would meet
By the willow trees
And talk about their year
The years quickly flew by
And soon they were in high school
On the eve of the 9th anniversary
Of the first day they met
He gave her a single white rose
And he asked to meet her
At the lake where they swam
That night they spent talking
Falling in love with each other
They started meeting every night
The soft summer moonlight
Glowing on their faces like their new love
Three more years quickly passed
Slipping into happy memories
But one fateful night when they were 18
She dove into the water
And never returned to the surface
He was devestated at his loss
The diamond ring in his pocket
Becoming a heavy weight
Every summer he returns on that date
Under the glow of the moonlight
With a tear rolling down his cheek
Her diamond ring in his pocket
And a simple prayer on his lips
He leaves her a single white rose
Under the willow trees
