Alan Dale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The boy looked into her eyes, it was a sight to enthrall
The breezes joined in 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 that is why the poets always write
If there's a new moon bright above
It's cherry pink and apple blossom white
When you're in love

In the early '80s, I used to play in a very Italian restaurant in Brooklyn.... Can't remember the name... Every week, Alan Dale "just happened to be!!!!!!" in the restaurant. Imagine that! And wouldn't it be great if he would join the band on stage for a song? So every week we played this tune and he would conduct the cuts and entrances behind his back. I played it as a straight cha cha cha. I learned the song from him.
