There's a linden tree in my dreams
there's a mem'ry too
I see lovers parting it seems
changing the old for the new.

Let me tell how a love story started
and how tender it promised to be
they were young
and they met happyhearted
by a lonely linden tree.
oh, he gave her a kiss as a greeting,
and the love in her eyes he could see
very soon ev'ry night
they were meeting
by the lonely linden tree.
They vowed, as lovers do
just to be ever true,
they dreamed a dream or two
till there came someone new,
Now I've told
how that love story started,
let me tell how it ended for me
it was my heart that broke
when we parted
by the lonely linden tree.

Let me tell how a love story started
and how tender it promised to be
they were young

oh, he gave her a kiss as a greeting,
and the love in her eyes he could see
very soon ev'ry night
they were meeting
by the lonely linden tree.
They vowed, as lovers do
just to be ever true,
they dreamed a dream or two
till there came someone new,
Now I've told
how that love story started,
let me tell how it ended for me
it was my heart that broke
when we parted
by the lonely linden tree.

When two lovers meet by the tree
my heart seems to sigh
thinking of what happened to me
I see them saying goodbye.

Let me tell how a love story started
and how tender it promised to be
they were young
and they met happyhearted
by a lonely linden tree.
oh, he gave her a kiss as a greeting,
and the love in her eyes he could see
very soon ev'ry night
they were meeting
by the lonely linden tree.
They vowed, as lovers do
just to be ever true,
they dreamed a dream or two
till there came someone new,
Now I've told
how that love story started,
let me tell how it ended for me
it was my heart that broke
when we parted
by the lonely linden tree.
