I had a tree in the dream hills where my childhood lay   And I'd go there in the wide, long days   And my tree would listen to all that I'd say      And the sun was shining brightly   And the sky was smiling   And the sun was shining brightly   And the sky was smiling, oh      Then one day when the world had put me in its tomb   And my life was just an empty room   I went to my tree and I sat there in my gloom   And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying   And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying, oh      Then my tree bent its branches low down to the ground   And its green leaves shrouded up my mind   And I left the world somewhere behind   And I didn't not know what I would find      And the sun was shining brightly   And the sky was smiling   Oh, the sun was shining brightly   And the sky was smiling
