Lemon Tree柠檬树

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 faith in love my boy my father said to me

I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon

Lemon tree

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible

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 my father's

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is

To eat

One day she left without a word

She took away the sun

And in the dark she'd left behind I knew what she had done she'd left me for another

It's a common tale but true

A sad man but wiser now I sing

These words to you

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of

Lemon is impossible to eat lemon

Lemon tree
