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
