Beautiful art song with full orchestration by Paul Rucker, mixed/sung/composed/guitar by Gabe Hizer.
The Cherry Tree
The cherry tree
Blossoms like the snow
In springtime when we met
Its loveliness
Takes my breath away
And it helps me to forget
The cherry branches
Overhead
Surrounded by the bees
The perfumed air
It draws them in
Just as you did to me.
Oh to be held
And safe in your arms
I long for the warmth of your care
But just like the seasons
There’s no going back
To a time that’s no longer there.
The cherry tree
Dazzles with its blooms
Yet soon they fade away
Some comfort yet
I can take from this
As I face another day.
