Bend, little willow

I had been meaning to make this movie for a little girl named Jacey but didn't know how to do it.
Then yesterday while having a lunch with my dad he told me that he's been battling cancer. He said its the very same cancer and the same way that it started that just a few years ago became brain-cancer and then took my uncle, (my dad's older brother).
After that it became clear and I knew exactly how I would make this movie for a little girl named Jacey (and for my dad).

Bend, little willow
Wind's gonna blow you
Hard and cold tonight

Life, as it happens
Nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight

Nothing's gonna shake your love
Take your love away
No one's out to break your heart
It only seems that way... hey

Sleep, little willow
Peace gonna follow
Time will heal your wounds

Grow to the heavens
Now and forever
Always came too soon

Little willow

Nothing's gonna shake your love
Take your love away
No one's out to break your heart
It only seems that way... hey

Bend, little willow
Wind's gonna blow you
Hard and cold tonight

Life, as it happens
Nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight

Ah, little willow
Little willow
