The Laughing Apple - Yusuf / Cat Stevens

Written by：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 traveled the mountains

And I've traveled the sea

But never in my traveling 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 traveled the mountains

And I've traveled the sea

But never in my traveling 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
