Cherry Blossom Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Little ghost, tall, tan like milk and honey
You're very brave
And very free

[Chorus]
I push you high, cherry blossom on your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

[Verse 2]
Swing it high like Jesus, wild and free
Dandelions in your hair, baby
You're very brave
And there's much to see

[Chorus]
I push you high, cherry blossom on your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

[Bridge]
And when you're scared, I'll be right here
You feel afraid, Mommy is there
It's a cruel, cruel world, but we don't care
'Cause what we've got, we've got to share

See Lana Del Rey Live

Get tickets as low as $88

[Verse 3]
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Little ghost, blonde hair with lemonade tea
There's much to learn
And so much to see

[Chorus]
I push you high, Angelina, on your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

“Cherry Blossom” is a song from Lana Del Rey’s eighth studio album, Blue Banisters.

The track, that leaked on May 1, 2019, was written back in 2013 by Lana and her long time collaborator Rick Nowels and comes from the same session as “Nectar of the Gods”. Both songs were originally intended for the 2014 album Ultraviolence and ended up on the 2021 album Blue Banisters.

On June 18, 2016, Lana posted a now-deleted short video of her singing an acapella version of the song on her Instagram with the caption of:

It’s so hot out today and all the birds are singing. I was reminded of a lullaby I wrote years ago called Cherry Blossom.

Lana continued teasing the song via Instagram on March 22, 2021, when she posted a picture of herself swinging on a seesaw with a quote of the lyrics of the song as caption:

Swing it high Angelina on your sycamore tree

The song was confirmed to be on Blue Banisters by an insider on the pop culture forum ATRL the day prior the official tracklist announcement on the Lana Del Rey website on September 8, 2021, alongside the single “Arcadia”.
