Chet Baker I Talk To The Trees [from Paint Your Wagon] Lyrics

I Talk To The Trees [from Paint Your Wagon] Lyrics

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



But suddenly my words

Reach someone else's ear

At someone else's heart strings too



I tell you my dreams

And while you're listening to me

I suddenly see them come true



I can see us some April night

Looking out across a rollin' farm

Having supper in the candlelight

Walking later, arm in arm



Then I'll tell you how I pass the day

Thinking mainly how the night would be

Then I'll try to find the words to say

All the things you mean to me



I tell you my dreams

And while you're listening to me

I suddenly see them come true
