A Blossom Fell
Words & Music by Howard Barnes, Harold Cornelius & Dominic John
Recorded by Nat "King" Cole, 1955
A7 D6 Cdim Em7 A7
A blossom fell from off a tree;
Em7 A7 A7+5 D
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me.
D9 Fdim Em7 A7
The gypsies say, and I know why,
Em7 A7 A7 D6 Cdim A7
A falling blossom only touches lips that lie.
A7 5 D6 Cdim Em7 A7
A blossom fell, and very soon
Em7 A7 G/B A7 A7+5 D Dm7 D7
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon.
D7+5 G Gm Gdim D
I thought you loved me; you said you loved me,
Em7 A7 Fdim D
We planned together to dream forever,
D7+5 Em7 G/B Gdim D Fdim
The dream has ended, for true love died
Em7 Cdim G/B A7 D
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied.
