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 |
