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

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]
