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
