Theres a tree out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
And the reason its still standin
It was strong enough to bend.
For years we have stayed together,
As lovers and as friends.
What we have will last forever
If were strong enough to bend.
When you say somethin that you cant take back,
A big wind blows and you hear a crack.
When you say Hey, well, I might be wrong,
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone.
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone.
Like a tree
Like a tree
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
Our love
Will last forever,
If were strong enough to bend.
When you start thinkin that you know it all,
A big wind blows and a branch will fall.
When you say Hey, this job takes two,
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.
Like the tree
Like the tree
Out in the back yard,
That never has been broken by the wind.
Our love
Our love
Will last forever,
If were strong enough to bend.
Our love
Our love
Will last forever,
If were strong enough to bend.
