New Arrangement
The all-time biggest instrumental of the rock era, Damaso Perez Prado's
Lyric by Mack David
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
IT’S CHERRY PINK AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE,
WHEN YOUR TRUE LOVER COMES YOUR WAY,
IT’S CHERRY PINK AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE,
THE POETS SAY,
THE STORY GOES THAT ONCE A CHERRY TREE....
BESIDE AN APPLE TREE DID GROW,
AND THERE A BOY ONCE MET HIS BRIDE TO BE,
LONG, LONG AGO,
THE BOY LOOKED INTO HER EYES, IT WAS A FEAT TO ENTHRALL,
THE BREEZES STARTED THEIR SIGHS, THE BLOSSOMS STARTED TO FALL,
AND, AS THEY GENTLY CARESSED, THE LOVERS LOOKED UP TO FIND,
THE BRANCHES OF THE TWO TREES... WERE INTERTWINED,
AND SO THAT’S WHY THE POETS OFTEN WRITE,
WHEN THERE’S A NEW MOON UP ABOVE,
IT’S CHERRY PINK AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE.....
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE!
(Repeat Refrain)
