A tender ballad about a lost love.
(The Danish words 'jeg elsker dig' in the bridge = 'I love you'. The 'dig' rhymes with 'sigh'. Though the singer is Swedish, and pronounced things a little differently.)
Music/arrangement/production: Billy Playle
Vocals: Maria Sedell
Lyric: Donna Devine

All Of The Trees
V1
Night-time is hard
When it pulls from the past
A tangle of roots
That never did bind
My tears fall like leaves
From all of the trees
I wanted to climb
Chorus
Every time I dream of you
You edge a little nearer
Your face becoming clearer
I'm a kiss away from forgiveness
But then you turn and go
The way I did to you once
On a doorstep long ago
V2
Night-time is hard
With the mem'ries it brings
The way that I lost
The chance that was mine
To play as I pleased
In all of the trees
I wanted to climb
Chorus
Bridge
Still hear you sigh 'jeg elsker dig'
...And I drink my morning tea
Wondering do you ever think of me?
Chorus
Outro
You were the oak
The willow, the birch
The aspen, the cypress
The cedar, the pine
You were all of the trees
I needed to climb
