[Verse]
We sit in shade and cool.
We talk of this and that,
You hum your favorite tune.
You get me humming too.
But we both already know,
This peace it cannot last.
A chance to catch our breaths.
To test each others depths.

[Verse]
Look up to leaves of green.
Bright beams of dappled light.
White clouds and endless skies.
Reflected in your eyes.
If this is but a dream.
Then sing me soft to sleep.
Invest your love in me.
Under the sycamore tree.

[Chorus]
Oh! Sing me songs of love,
A song to make me sad.
Sing me songs of hope.
A song to make me glad.
Oh! Sing me songs of life,
A song to set me free.
Under the sycamore tree.
It’s only you and me.
 
[Verse]
We need no words to know.
Moments like this are rare.
They cannot be rehearsed.
Though this is not our first.
But in this place it’s like.
Our love is magnified.
Fate binds us tighter still.
We’ve still not drunk our fill.

[Verse]
Although the world is cold.
Here I can feel your warmth.
I take your hand in mine.
I wish I could stop time.
And live my days out here.
No-one but you and me.
The way I want to be.
Under the the sycamore tree.

[Chorus]
Oh! Sing me songs of love,
A song to make me sad.
Sing me songs of hope.
A song to make me glad.
Oh! Sing me songs of life,
A song to set me free.
Under the sycamore tree.
It’s only you and me.

When I Needed You (Alt version)

Ten years later, singing was added to the practice routine and with discipline and determination, a few original songs were written.
