THE TREE
A little girl with a pretty smile ran across the field
To a barn where her grandpa worked makin' horseshoes out of steel
He stood tall in her eyes, the heart of her world
From this gentle man a family branched down to this little girl
And the tree grew stonger every day
Through the sons and daughters that he raised
From the love and care that he gave
The tree grew stronger everyday
Her mama wiped the teardrops from her little girl's eyes
On the day the heart of the world had died
But Papa said little lady just look what he's left behind
A tree of life with roots so deep it'll stand the sands of time
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
As a woman she'd vist the house where she played as a child
It was falling down weathered with time
But through the cracks in the windows precious memories
Of the old man buried beneath the tree
(Repeat Chorus)
