Lemon Tree lyrics
When I was just a little boy
my father said to me
"come here and learn a lesson
from the lovely lemon tree"
"my son its most important"
my father said to me
"to put your faith in what you feel
and not in what you see"
CHORUS
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
beneath that lemon tree one day
my love and I did lye
a girl so sweet that when she smiled
the sun rose in the sky
we past the summer lost in love
beneath the lemon tree
the music of her laughter
hide my fathers words from me
CHORUS
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
one day she left without a word
she took away the sun
and in the dark she left behind
I knew what she had done
she left me for another
its a common tale but true
a sadder man, much wiser now
I sing these words to you
CHORUS
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
my father said to me
"come here and learn a lesson
from the lovely lemon tree"
"my son its most important"
my father said to me
"to put your faith in what you feel
and not in what you see"
CHORUS
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
beneath that lemon tree one day
my love and I did lye
a girl so sweet that when she smiled
the sun rose in the sky
we past the summer lost in love
beneath the lemon tree
the music of her laughter
hide my fathers words from me
CHORUS
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
one day she left without a word
she took away the sun
and in the dark she left behind
I knew what she had done
she left me for another
its a common tale but true
a sadder man, much wiser now
I sing these words to you
CHORUS
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
Lemon tree, very pretty
and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon
is a thing one cannot eat
