about

Evergreen (Che, A. Keeling)

lyrics

I’ll plant a tree
And watch it grow
I’ll say a prayer
And let you go

And when it’s strong
And when it’s tall
And when it’s leaves
In autumn fall

Oh nightingale in full aplomb
When spring has sprung
And flowers bloom
Come sing your song
A lullaby
Spread your wings
And touch the sky

In summertime
Beneath your shade
Drinking wine and lemonade
As seasons come
And seasons go
The years pass
Before we know

My tree of life
So big and tall
Bowing to the raging storm
Shielding snowflakes
As they fall
Looking down upon us all

Comfort me
My evergreen
Swaying gently so serene
Your silent breeze
It speaks to me
My tree of life
Eternally

In summertime
Beneath your shade
Drinking wine and lemonade
As seasons come
And seasons go
The years pass before we know
