Chorus
In the shade of the old apple tree
Where the love in your eyes I could see
When the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird
Seemed to whisper sweet music to me
I could hear the dull buzz of the bee
In the blossoms as you said to me
With a heart that is true, I’ll be waiting for you
In the shade of the old apple tree
