When I was just a lad of ten my father said to me |
|
Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree |
|
Don't put your fate in love my boy my father said to me |
|
I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree. |
|
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet |
|
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat |
|
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet |
|
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
|
One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie |
|
A girl so sweet that when she smiles the star grows in the sky |
|
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree |
|
The music of her laughter hit my father's words for me. |
|
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet |
|
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat |
|
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet |
|
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
|
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet |
|
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat |
|
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower's sweet |
|
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat... |
