Lyrics The Laughing Apple - Yusuf / Cat Stevens

Slowly
Let me tell you a story
Lover tree
An apple tree
Once in a summertime garden
Lived a little apple tree
And the man who owned it
Wanted it to be picked
And so he sent for to hire me
Well I've travelled the mountains
And I've travelled the sea
But never in my travelling days
Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me
So laugh, laugh a little apple
Autumn is waiting
You better be careful
And it'll bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh a little apple
Well all the apples were hiding
Frightened that they might be plucked
And every time somebody passed
All except that one little apple ducked
Well I've travelled the mountains
And I've travelled the sea
But never in my travelling days
Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me
Laugh, laugh a little apple
Autumn is waiting
You better be careful
And it'll bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh a little apple
Laugh, laugh a little apple
Autumn is waiting
You better be careful
And it'll bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh a little apple
