Peter Paul & May - Lemon Tree Lyrics

Показать описание
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.

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 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'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true.
A sadder 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 the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

Makes me cry just to listen to this song.. Brings back lots of beautiful memories of my daddy Jim.. It was 1983, i was just 7yo.. My dad’s hobby is carpentry, he was making me a beautiful wooden chair bec i was his “favorite pet” he has a cassette player with him & we were both listening to this song.. He passed away in 2006 but he’ll always live inside my heart.. I love you daddy!! You’re my angel now, pls continue to guide me & tell our good Lord to help us all surpass this pandemic.. 🙏❤️❤️❤️

Me la enseñó una profesora sustituta de inglés hace más de 20 años. Olvidé su cara y su nombre pero nunca esta canción. Dios bendiga a la profesora.

⛱ my dad would take out the tape recorder when I was a kid and I would sing the chorus over and over again it was a simple song but we always enjoyed it and it was relaxing and from time to time we would listen to it as we got older. Brings back memories thank you

My Nan always sang the chorus of this song to me when I was young. I never knew if it was an actual song or one she made up until now. I still play it on the piano for her, and now I can learn the rest of the song! 💛

One of my covid patients made a full turn around in the past few day’s, and the first thing he spoke when he woke up after days of sleeping was to sing me this song.

I listened this beautiful song for the first time thirty years ago, through a former music radio station, "Radio 80 serie oro" (Golden series). It's a pity that it vanishes, because broadcasts a big quality music selection.
