[00:07.720]When I was just a lad of ten,
[00:10.830]my father said to me,
[00:12.540]
[00:13.510]Come here and take a lesson
[00:15.700]from the lovely lemon tree.
[00:18.390]
[00:18.250]Don't put your faith in love, my boy,
[00:21.670]my father said to me,
[00:23.660]
[00:23.750]I fear you'll find that love is like
[00:26.840]the lovely lemon tree.
[00:29.360]Lemon tree, very pretty,
[00:32.220]and the lemon flower is sweet,
[00:34.770]
[00:35.290]But the fruit of the lemon
[00:37.970]is impossible to eat.
[00:40.900]Lemon tree, very pretty,
[00:43.860]and the lemon flower is sweet,
[00:47.110]But the fruit of the lemon
[00:49.550]is impossible to eat.
[00:52.620]
[00:54.900]beneath the lemon tree One day
[00:57.510]my love and I did lie,
[00:59.970]
[01:00.580]A girl so sweet that when she smiled,
[01:03.370]the stars rose in the sky.
[01:05.490]
[01:06.330]We passed that summer lost in love,
[01:09.280]beneath the lemon tree,
[01:11.470]
[01:12.100]The music of her laughter hid
[01:15.060]my father's words from me.
[01:17.610]Lemon tree, very pretty,
[01:20.400]and the lemon flower is sweet,
[01:23.320]But the fruit of the lemon
[01:26.230]is impossible to eat.
[01:29.130]Lemon tree, very pretty,
[01:32.090]and the lemon flower is sweet,
[01:35.030]But the fruit of the lemon
[01:38.000]is impossible to eat.
[01:40.510]
[01:43.100]One day she left without a word,
[01:45.830]she took away the sun.
[01:47.560]
[01:48.570]And in the dark she left behind,
[01:51.620]I knew what she had done.
[01:53.520]
[01:54.560]She left me for another,
[01:57.120]it's a common tale but true,
[01:59.470]
[02:00.210]A sadder man, but wiser now,
[02:03.190]I sing these song to you.
