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
