Verse 2:



	The apple tree that grew for you and me

	I watched the apples falling one by one

	And I recall the moment of them all

	The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone

	Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small

	And you don't ask the time of day

	But you and I, our love will never die

	But guess who'll cry come First of May

	Someone else moved in   from far away [fade]
