lyrics

O LITTLE CHILDREN
o little children will you stay around me
come take my hands and walk along beside me
o little children i'm a little bit afraid
so will you help me on my way...

o little children will you stay around me
come take my hands and walk along beside me
o little children i wish i could be like you
but when you're old dreams don't come true

o little children time is all around you
and like a ghost someday it will astound you
o little children how i wish you wouldn't grow
i never want to see you old
and crazy just like me
and every grown-up that you see...

am i crazy to believe you'll be like me?

o little children will you stay around me
come take my hands and walk along beside me
o little children i wish i could be with you
but when you're old dreams don't come true

THE LEMON TREE
come into my garden
come and you will see
growing from the green ground
is a lemon tree

sunshine from the soft sun
makes the lemons glow
brighter than the brightest color of yellow

come and see the beauty
of my lemon tree
climb again
be my friend
in the lemon tree

lemons will surround us
so no one can see
me and you and sunshine
sitting in the tree

happy here together
drinking lemon tea
soon you will become my little lemon queen

come and play
everyday
in the lemon tree
love will be lemony
that's how love should be

if the sun stops shining
no need to worry
sunshine is preserved here
in the lemon tree

when the sky is ugly
and the day is dull
all the lemons sparkle
bringing cheer to all

come and play
everyday
in the lemon tree
you and me
we may be
all we really need
climb again, be my friend
in the lemon tree
love will be lemony
that's how love should be
