LYRICS
Tree Song
by Lorraine Hammond
This is my trunk I’m a tall tall tree
In the springtime the blossoms grow on me.
They open, they open.
This is my trunk I’m a tall tall tree
In the summer the breezes blow through me,
I bend, I bend.
This is my trunk I’m a tall tall tree
In the autumn the apples grow on me,
They drop, they drop.
This is my trunk I’m a tall tall tree
In the winter the snowflakes fall on me,
Brrrrr, Brrrrr
This is my trunk I’m a tall tall tree
In the springtime the blossoms grow on me.
They open, they open.
