The cypress tree stands all alone And casts a shadow of its own And in the shallow of the tree I hear the lies you told to me And like the cypress tree I stand alone I love for keeps,you love for fun I could not melt your heart of stone You' re gone, now I' m the lonely one Like the cypress tree in the setting sun We stood beneath the cypress tree T'was there you vowed your love for me But vows to you were empty words Well I believed each lie I heard And like the cypress tree, I stand alone I love for keeps,you love for fun I could not melt your heart of stone You're gone, now I'm the lonely one Like the cypress tree in the setting sun Like the cypress tree in the setting sun Like the cypress tree in the setting sun
