lyrics

When we were kids we would play outside and swim in the lake at the beach
I’d love to visit my grandmother’s house and in her orchard eat a big juicy peach
I’ll never forget how the apple blossoms smelled, but that’s another story I could tell
The fondest memory that comes back to me, is climbing in The Old Cherry Tree

When the summer was hot we’d wear T-shirts and shorts and run thru the grass in the yard
Playing Hide ‘n Seek, the other kids and me, we’d chase around the cat and the dog
Riding bikes down the lane, swinging in the barn, building forts in the hay, jumping in the straw
When the cherries were ripe there was one place to be, that was under The Old Cherry Tree

The Old Cherry Tree brings sweet memories to me and I hope that I’ll never forget
Climbing to the top where the world could see
It was me in The Old Cherry Tree

Nothing tasted as good as a Black Cherry could, and for a feast I thought I’d almost die
Queen Anne’s were sweet and the Bing’s were a treat and my Mom would bake the juiciest pies
But wintertime would come, snow would cover the ground, I can’t recall a more silent sound
We’d climb those snow banks as happy as could be, and swing in The Old Cherry Tree

Then one day I left the farm and went off to school leaving my family and my friends behind
No more fishing in the pond, racing down the road, in the city there were new friends to find
I think back to the times, when we’d sing nursery rhymes, playing games my sisters and me
Now when I need to be free there’s only one place to be in the arms of The Old Cherry Tree

Yes The Old Cherry Tree brings sweet memories to me now I know that I’ll never forget
Climbing up to the top where the world could see
It was me in The Old Cherry Tree
