There's a tree Out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind And the reason it's still standing It was strong enough to bend For years We have stayed together As lovers And as friends What we have Will last forever If we're strong enough to bend When you say something that you can't take back Big wind blows and you hear a little crack But when you say "hey, well I might be wrong" You can sway with the wind 'til the storm is gone Like a tree Out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love Will last forever If we're strong enough to bend When you start thinking that you know it all Big wind blows and a branch will fall But when you say "hey, this job takes two" You can sway with the wind 'til the sky turns blue Like a tree Out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love Will last forever If we're strong enough to bend Our love Will last forever If we're strong enough to bend
