They say there's a tree in the forest
A tree that will give you a sign
Come along with me to the Sweetheart Tree
Come and carve your name next to mine.

They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore.

(Chorus)
They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you've been waiting for...

(Mathis)
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore.
