Fruit as Sweet

Deep in the garden, I hold a tasty fruit
Never thought there’d be one quite like this
If I hold on too strong, it slips through my hands
Reminds me of the love I have from you
Some would try to hold you, others caress you,
I hope that you won’t slip away
(Chorus)
There’s no one as sweet—as your kisses
There’s no fruit as sweet –as your kisses (repeat)
Need I remind you, the bitter’s also sweet
Melancholy fruit the taste of sin
If I could forget you, what a simpler life would be
All the fruits of life I could contain
Some would try to hold you, others caress you,
I hope that you won’t slip away
(Chorus)
Some would try to hold you, others caress you,
I hope that you won’t slip away
(Repeat Chorus)
