A blossom fell from off a tree;
Em7A7A7+5 D
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me.
D9FdimEm7A7
The gypsies say, and I know why,
Em7A7A7+ D6A7im
A falling blossom only touches lips that lie.
A7+ 5 D6CdimEm7A7
A blossom fell, and very soon
Em7A7G/BA7A7+5 DD77
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon.
D7+5 GGmGdimD
I thought you loved me; you said you loved me,
Em7A7FdimD
We planned together to dream forever,
D7+5 Em7G/BGdimDFdim
The dream has ended, for true love died
Em7CdimG/BA7D
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied.
