Lemon Tree
The lemon tree you planted me,
Your love comes through the soil
She'll grow tall, and stretch her arms,
Shady, happy, loving
Dapples of sunshine through her leaves,
Yellow gifts I'll happily squeeze
Well, I grew up with the notion:
When life gives you lemons, you go through the motion
You make lemonade out of those small, sour fruits
They'll silence your words and pucker your tongue,
But they bring a zest to life that's second to none
And you compliment me like some sugar and salt,
But I'd be nothing without you
There's something special about lemons,
Well, alone they're unpleasant,
As a friend they're compelling
Well, I can be just as tart without you
Oh, they're a lovely companion to something sweet,
An incomparable friend to a savory treat,
And you, you planted me a lemon tree,
I'll follow you wherever you go
(Scatting)
