《The Giving Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] The Giving Tree - Bobby Bare

[00:00:08] Once there was a giving tree who loved a little boy

[00:00:16] And every day the boy would come to play

[00:00:25] Swinging from her branches sleeping in her shade

[00:00:34] Laughing all the summer hours away

[00:00:42] And so they'd love and oh the tree was happy

[00:00:50] Oh the tree was glad

[00:00:59] But soon the boy grew older

[00:01:02] And one day he came to say

[00:01:07] Can you give me some money

[00:01:10] Tree to buy some things I found

[00:01:16] I have no money said the tree

[00:01:20] Just apples twigs and leaves

[00:01:24] But you can take my apples boy

[00:01:28] And sell them in the town

[00:01:32] And so he did and oh the tree was happy

[00:01:41] Oh the tree was glad

[00:01:49] And soon again the boy came back

[00:01:54] And he said to the tree

[00:01:58] I'm now a man and I must

[00:02:01] Have a house that's all my own

[00:02:07] I can't give you a house she said

[00:02:11] The forest is my house

[00:02:15] But you may cut my branches off

[00:02:19] And build yourself a home

[00:02:23] And so he did and oh the tree was happy

[00:02:32] Oh the tree was glad

[00:02:44] And the time went by and the boy came back

[00:02:49] With sadness in his eyes

[00:02:53] My life has turned so cold he said

[00:02:57] And I need sunny days

[00:03:02] I've nothin' but my trunk she said

[00:03:05] But you may cut it down

[00:03:10] And built yourself a boat and sail away

[00:03:18] And so he did and oh the tree was happy

[00:03:27] Oh the tree was glad

[00:03:39] And after years the boy came back both of them were old

[00:03:47] I really cannot help ye if you ask another gift

[00:03:52] I'm nothin' but an old stump now

[00:03:57] I'm sorry boy she said

[00:04:01] I'm sorry but I've nothin' more to give

[00:04:10] I don't need very much now just a quiet place to rest

[00:04:17] The boy he'd whispered with a weary smile

[00:04:22] Well said the tree an old stump still is good for that

[00:04:30] Come boy she said sit down sit down and rest awhile

[00:04:42] And so he did and oh the tree was happy

[00:04:51] Oh the tree was glad
