Lemon Tree - Trini Lopez

作词：Will Holt

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 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 to eat

Beneath the lemon tree one day my love and I did lie

A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky

We passed the summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree

The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me

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 to 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 it's a common tale but true

I sadder tale but wiser now I sing this song for 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 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 to eat
