The Lemon Tree

Lemon tree lemon tree why does your fruit tempt me so it first blossoms into a flower smelling sweet to the nose but your fruit sunny bright yellow tempting to taste its bitter sour flavor leaves you with a pucker face Lemon tree lemon tree sugar your lemons need for lemonade or squeezed the juice to flavor tea Deceptive is the lemon tree with flowers that bloom sweet but sour is the flesh of the fruit you eat Lemon tree lemon tree like love to the heart first love is forever than suddenly it departs Sweet as a lemon blossom when love first appears bitter as the lemon fruit when that love disappears Lemon tree lemon tree if I should cut you down would the pain of heartache be less profound does love require to always add a sweet is that the way for love to last and keep.
