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
