There was a time
When the cherries were red
That I lay on the grass
And they fell on my head
The birds chirped and sang
In the tree overhead
And I laughed in the grass
When the cherries were red
But now my dear tree
Where the cherries were red
Is frozen and gray
The birds are all fled
I lie on the ground
Snow falls on my head
And I dream of the time
When the cherries were red
There was a time
When the cherries were red
That I lay on the grass
And they fell on my head
The birds chirped and sang
In the tree overhead
And I laughed in the grass
When the cherries were red
But now my dear tree
Where the cherries were red
Is frozen and gray
The birds are all fled
I lie on the ground
Snow falls on my head
And I dream of the time
When the cherries were red
