Beneath The Chestnut Tree

Beneath the chestnut tree I lie And gaze into the summer sky And watch the clouds go floating by Within the sea of blue. Here I came at break of dawn And I've remained throughout the morn Feeling lonely and forlorn With nothing else to do. Resting in its leafy shade Upon the firm and grassy glade The afternoon and evening fade And disappear from view. I see the sunset then unfold The skies of amber turn to gold The passion that I couldn't hold No love could be more true. I remain as darkness falls When echoes of my heartache calls The sadness that I feel appals If only I had you.
