Take me back to the place where you fell
where petals swirl their intricate dance
beneath the boughs of the magnolia tree
Take me back to the place where you fell
where petals cover the hard earth
with their soft velvet carpet
Take me back to the place where you fell
to reminisce on warm summer days
where we lay down with eyes closed
beneath the boughs of the magnolia tree
soft petals, delicate fragrance settled on our skin
Take me back to the place where you fell
beneath the boughs of the magnolia tree
where, for the last time, you lay down
