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.
