i talk to the trees

Chet Baker

I talk to the trees
But they don t listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me

The breeze hasn t time
To stop and hear what I say
I talk to them all in vain

But suddenly my words
Reach someone else s ear
At someone else s heart strings too

I tell you my dreams
And while you re listening to me
I suddenly see them come true

I can see us some April night
Looking out across a rollin farm
Having supper in the candlelight
Walking later, arm in arm

Then I ll tell you how I pass the day
Thinking mainly how the night would be
Then I ll try to find the words to say
All the things you mean to me

I tell you my dreams
And while you re listening to me
I suddenly see them come true
