The Cherry Tree
from An Unforgettable Luncheon by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Watching the sun beneath the cherry tree
Here with my one true love
Sinking beneath a blue eternity
Looking to the stars above
Down by the cherry tree
My baby said to me…
"You can't look to the future
When you keep on looking to the past for answers
You've got to get your act together
I'll help with the rest, you know
I only want to know you'd promise the same"
I've got a reason to dance
A little dance
Across the moon again
I've got the freedom
To fly anywhere
When I'm with her
I got life
Sometimes I see that Cherry Tree
Outside my window
Down where we etched our love
Into the bark
Down by the cherry tree
My honey said to me
"You know summer's only 'round the corner
Lets watch the sunrise
We've got a little night to share
Before we part ways in the morning
Let's meet again before it rains"
I've got a reason to dance
A little dance
Across the moon again
I've got the freedom
To fly anywhere
When I'm with her
I got life
Sometimes I look down
Outside my window
Promise that you'll love me
When the leaves fall down
Down by the cherry tree
My darling said to me
That I'm the only man
The only the man she needs
I've got a reason
To dance a little dance
Across the moon again
I've got the freedom
To fly anywhere
When I'm with her
I got life
Sometimes I see that Cherry Tree
Outside my window
Down where we etched our love
Into the bark
Here with my one true love
Sinking beneath a blue eternity
Looking to the stars above
Down by the cherry tree
My baby said to me…
"You can't look to the future
When you keep on looking to the past for answers
You've got to get your act together
I'll help with the rest, you know
I only want to know you'd promise the same"
I've got a reason to dance
A little dance
Across the moon again
I've got the freedom
To fly anywhere
When I'm with her
I got life
Sometimes I see that Cherry Tree
Outside my window
Down where we etched our love
Into the bark
Down by the cherry tree
My honey said to me
"You know summer's only 'round the corner
Lets watch the sunrise
We've got a little night to share
Before we part ways in the morning
Let's meet again before it rains"
I've got a reason to dance
A little dance
Across the moon again
I've got the freedom
To fly anywhere
When I'm with her
I got life
Sometimes I look down
Outside my window
Promise that you'll love me
When the leaves fall down
Down by the cherry tree
My darling said to me
That I'm the only man
The only the man she needs
I've got a reason
To dance a little dance
Across the moon again
I've got the freedom
To fly anywhere
When I'm with her
I got life
Sometimes I see that Cherry Tree
Outside my window
Down where we etched our love
Into the bark
