Verse 2:

The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one
And I recall the moment of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess who'll cry come First of May
