The Giving Tree

Lyrics

Once there was A Giving Tree Who Loved A little Boy And every Day The Boy would come to Play Swinging from Her Branches Sleeping in Her Shades Laughing all The Summer's Hours away And so They Loved And oh The Tree was Happy Oooooh ... The Tree was Glad But soon The Boy grew older And 1 Day He came to Say Can You give Me some Money Tree, to Buy some things I found I have no Money Said The Tree Just Apples, Twigs and Leaves But You can Pick My Apples Boy And Sell Them in The Town And so He did And oh The Tree was Happy Oooooh... The Tree was Glad And soon again Thе Boy came Back And He Said to The Tree I'm now A Man and I must havе A House that's all My own I can't give You A House She Said The Forest is My Home But You may cut My Branches off And build Yourself A House And so He did and oh The Tree was Happy Oooooh... The Tree was Glad And Time went by And soon The Boy came Back With Sadness in His Eyes My Life's turned So Cold He Said I Need Sunny Days I'm nothing but an Old Stump She Said But You may cut it down And Build Yourself A Boat And Sail away And so He did and oh The Tree was Happy Oooooh... The Tree was Glad And after Years The Boy came Back Both of Them were Old I really can not Help You If You Ask for another Gift She Said I'm Nothing but An Old Stump Now I'm Sorry She Said I'm Sorry but I I've Nothing more to to Give I don't need very much Now He Said Just A Quiet Place to rest The Tree Said to The Little Boy A Stump is still as good for That Come Boy She Said Sit down A While Come And Rest A spell And so He did and oh The Tree was Happy Oooooh... The Tree was Glad
