1. I went to your wedding
2. If you go away
3. The end of the world
4. Rhythm of the rain
5. The rose
6. Lemon tree
1. I went to your wedding
i went to your wedding
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing
My poor heart kept saying
My dreams, my dreams are through
* You came down the aisle
Wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh
And then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness
(*Oh,) Your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying, too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you *
2. If you go away
If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well
take the sun away
All the birds that
flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and
our hearts were high
When the day was young and
the night was long
And the moon stood still for the
nightbird’s song
If you go away If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay I’ll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We’ll sail on the sun
We’ll ride on the rain
We’ll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
Then if you go,I’ll understand
Leave me just enough love
to hold in my hand
If you go away If you go away
If you go away If you go away
If you go away as I know you will
You must tell the world
to stop turning till
You return again if you ever do
For what good is love
without loving you
can I tell you now as you turn to go
I’ll be dying slowly till
the next hello
If you go away If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay, I’ll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I’ll sail on your smile
I’ll ride on your touch
I’ll talk to your eyes
that I love so much
But if you go, I won’t cry
Though the good is gone from the world. Goodbye
If you go away, If you go away
If you go away, If you go away
If you go away as I know you must
There’ll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like that empty look
I see on your face
I’d have been the shadow of your shadow
If I had thought it
might have kept me by your side
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
3. The end of the world
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
Because you don’t love me any more?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything’s the same as it was
I can’t understand,
No I can’t understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when you said good-bye
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when you said good-bye
4. Rhythm of the rain
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
lookin’ for a brand new start
But little does she know that
when she left that day
A long with her she took my heart
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away
when she don’t care
I can’t love another
when my heart’s somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
Lookin’ for a brand new start
But little does she know that
when she left that day
A long with her she took my heart
Rain won’t you tell her that I love her so
please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love
we knew start to grow
**
Oh listen to the falling rain pitter
patter pitter patter woo
Listen listen to the falling rain
5. The rose
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need.
It’s the heart afraid of breakin’
That never learns to dance.
It’s the dream afraid of wakin’
That never takes the chance.
It’s the one who won’t be taken
Who cannot seem to give.
And the soul afraid of dyin’
That never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose
6. Lemon tree
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.’
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
One day she left without a word.
She took away the sun.
And in the dark she’d 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.
CHORUS
Lemon Tree (Lemon Tree),
Lemon Tree (Lemon Tree),
Lemon Tree (Lemon Tree),
Lemon Tree (Lemon Tree).
