I Talk To The Trees lyrics

I Talk To The Trees
Tony Bavaar
(Lerner & Loewe)
From `Paint Your Wagon`


I talk to the trees
But they don`t listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn`t time
To stop and hear what I say
I talk to them all in vain

Refrain;
But suddenly my words
Reach someone else`s ears
Touch someone else`s heartstrings, too
I tell you my dreams
And while you`re listening to me
I suddenly see them come true

I can see us on an April night
Sipping brandy underneath the stars
Reading poems in the candlelight
To the strumming of guitars

I will tell you all the books I`ve read
And the way I met the King of France
Then I`ll send the servants off to bed
And I`ll ask you for a dance

Refrain;
But suddenly my words
Reach someone else`s ears
Touch someone else`s heartstrings, too
I tell you my dreams
And while you`re listening to me
I suddenly see them come true
