There's two trees in Becky Hill's front yard One big, and one small That big oak has been there for ages And they planted that willow last fall He bought it for their anniversery So they could watch it grow like their love But each day she looks out the window To see it not growing that much And she cries like that weeping willow Every time the wind starts to blow But one of these days she's gonna be strong Strong like the oak She hates the thought of leavin' As much as she hates to stay 'Cause somewhere in her heart she still needs him But not as much as she did yesterday And she cries like that weeping willow Every time the wind starts to blow But one of these days she's gonna be strong Strong like the oak She'll walk out that screen door And hold her head high Won't look back, won't shed a tear Righ now she's afraid of being alone But she's been alone for years And she cries like that weeping willow Every time the wind starts to blow But one of these days she's gonna be strong Strong like the oak Oh, one of these days she's gonna be strong Strong as an oak
