There's a tree out in the back yard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason it's 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 we're strong enough to bend

When you say somethin' that you can't 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 we're 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 we're strong enough to bend
Our love
(Our love)
Will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
