Lyrics

THE OLD APPLE TREE
One hundred years ago a young man bowed his head to pray
An aching in his heart he laid his sweetheart in her grave
Sickness ruled the land – dark clouds filled the sky
The world held its breath while he whispered goodbye

He planted a tree in her memory
Every year sweet blossoms fell
Time slipped away and he joined her one day
In the shade of an old apple tree

A hundred years pass by, a young man bows his head to pray
An aching in his heart he lays his sweetheart in her grave
Sickness has come again – dark clouds fill the sky
The world holds its breath while he whispers goodbye

He plants a tree in her memory
To last another hundred years
As time slips away, he will join her one day
In the shade of that old apple tree

One hundred years apart
The same broken heart
History repeating
History repeating
In the shade of an old apple tree
