Hope and the Cherry Tree Lyrics

Hope was born in nineteen fifteen
As third daughter in a family
In a house near church in a quiet street
Her father planted the tree
That was old custom in the town they lived
Mother took her in gentle hands
And started to sing

Cherry tree - please protect my family
Cherry tree - and keep this baby alive for me,
Cherry tree - swear on your blossom in the spring
Cherry tree - that you will fulfill mother's wish
Time passed in a quiet street
Hope grew up from innocent kid
To a woman ready for life to give

First dance and she fell in love
With a handsome locksmith who lived near by
Soon they were married and she gave birth to a child
And she started to sing
