Cherry Blossom Love

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
