We propose a simple parameterization for the form factors in heavy to light
decays, which satisfies the heavy quark scaling laws and avoids introducin
g the explicit "dipole" form. The illustration is provided with the set of
lattice data for B --> pi semileptonic decay. The resulting shape of the fo
rm factor also agrees with the QCD sum rule predictions. (C) 2000 Elsevier
