Lyrics

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)
 
Tag: The tree grows stronger everyday
