I was lookin up at a tree in my view Thinkin how long did it take to get there, a-ooh It was tall and strong and i was thinkin' about you Hope you grow too, i hope you grow too And when you go on down south Remember that i tried real hard to shut my mouth And when you are in a sunny room The warmth expands and soon it hits you Hope you think of me too, oo-aooh And like the sun i will grow too I was thinkin bout a song that once said "When you are happy and the sun is smilin Over the trees that you think of me In times of peace" Hope you grow too And i will grow like you And we will get there soon
