Under the Willow Tree

This is a song that sounds way too much like Afternoon Delight. Nonetheless, it's pretty peppy.

I want to ride our bikes to a willow tree
Just me and you, just you and me.
I want to read The Old Man and the Sea,
Under the willow tree.

I want to listen to Iron and Wine
You can give me your heart, and I'll give you mine.
Will you hold my hand,
Will you be my man?
Under the willow tree.

I wanna drink lemonade from a lemonade stand,
And talk about far away dreams in far away lands.
We can start a band,
If you'll be my man
Under the willow tree.
