Lyric discussion by davidrharris72 

Cover art for Lemon Tree lyrics by Peter, Paul and Mary

More about substance over appearance. what you "feel" is what is beneath. Trust, love, etc; The kinston trio's version plainly says, "put your faith in what you FEEL, not in what you SEE."

"feel" not so much being emotional, but the deeper things that only come to the surface with time.

The lemon tree being the basic reminder: Just because it looks good doesn't make it good.
