Cherry Blossom Love

Lyrics

She waited under wildwood
 Under maple and pine
 Wondering when her cherry blossom love would arrive
 ♪
 He once was a young man
 In love with a girl like me
 They'd sit alone together under the cherry blossom tree
 Time would turn their sunny day
 Like magic into dusk
 A single moment: suddenly, a year passed by in love
 Then he was gone
 Oh, he was gone
 She searched for him, then sat beneath their tree and sang this song
 I'll wait for your return, my love
 Under our cherry blossom tree
 And if you cannot meet me there, I'll try another tree
 I'll sit beneath the hemlock
 I'll sit below a pine
 I'll sit under the peach tree where you told me you were mine
 I'll wait for you through winter
 When all the leaves have died
 I'll wait for you to come to me with snow tears in my eyes
 ♪
 Well, all is gone from me today and until the end of time
 Her hair grew gray then blossoms layered her body like a vine
 The blossoms planted seeds and cherries fell across her chest
 They covered the ground around her then muffled her request
 The cherry lady laden with the saddest fruit to bear
 The sweetest juice left bitter proof of love's uncertain care
 'Cause he was gone
 Oh, he was gone
 She searched for him then sat beneath their tree
 And sang this song
 I'll wait for your return, my love, under our cherry blossom tree
 And if you cannot meet me there
 I'll never, never be free-ee
 Cherry blossom tree
