A Blossom Fell




A blossom fell from off a tree

It settled softly on the lips you turned to me

The Gypsies say, and I know why

A falling blossom only touches lips that lie.






A blossom fell and very soon

I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon

I thought you loved me, you said you loved me

We planned together to dream forever

The dream has ended, for true love died

The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied.

A blossom fell and very soon

I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon

I thought you loved me, you said you loved me

We planned together to dream forever

The dream has ended, for true love died

The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied.
