Under the Cottonwood's shade

There once was a small lake over there,

Now the water is gone, the ground is bare.

A beautiful old cottonwood stood at its edge

That's where we made our life's love pledge.

Lying on a colorful quilt your mom made,

We made love under the cottonwood's shade.

We held each other extra tight

Through the day and into the night.

We were gripped by love and the vows we made

In the warmth of the sun, under the cottonwood's shade.
