Lemon Tree Testo

❝I fear you will find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.❝

*lemon tree very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat* x2

One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie,
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree,
The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me.

* x2

One day she left without a word
She took away the sun
And in the dark she had left behind I knew what she had done.
She left me for another, it❝s a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you;

* x2
