     The day that we planted the apple tree 

 

The day that we planted the apple tree

I remember it all so well

We thought of the future and how it might be

But only time would tell

 

In a couple of years or maybe three

Some fruit would start to show

There’d be blossom and bees round our apple tree

As we would watch it grow

 

I dream of home

Where the apple tree still stands

And the child we see playing now has grown

From innocent boy to a man

 

The day that we planted the apple tree

These thoughts came to my mind

In the garden of life we a born from seed

We grow, bear fruit and die

We grow, bear fruit and die

 

I dream one day

When the kids have moved away

They’ll be planting their own new apple trees

And watching their children play

 

The day that we planted the apple tree

I remember it all so well

We thought of the future and how it might be

But only time would tell

And only time will
