Verse 2:

        The apple tree that grew for
 you and me
        I watched the apples falling
 one by one
        And I recall the moment of 
them all
        The day I kissed your cheek 
and you were gone
        Now we are tall and 
Christmas trees are small
        And you don't ask the time 
of day
        But you and I, our love will
 never die
        But guess who'll cry come 
First of May
