The Little Cypress Tree Lyrics

Nana Mouskouri

The cypress tree stands all alone
And casts a shadow of its own
And in the shallow of the tree
I hear the lies you told to me


And like the cypress tree I stand alone
I love for keeps,you love for fun
I could not melt your heart of stone
You' re gone, now I' m the lonely one
Like the cypress tree in the setting sun


We stood beneath the cypress tree
T'was there you vowed your love for me
But vows to you were empty words
Well I believed each lie I heard


And like the cypress tree, I stand alone
I love for keeps,you love for fun
I could not melt your heart of stone
You're gone, now I'm the lonely one
Like the cypress tree in the setting sun


Like the cypress tree in the setting sun
Like the cypress tree in the setting sun
