Intro

Verse 1

There's a tree out in the backyard

 That never has been broken by the wind

 And the reason its still standing

 It was strong enough to bend

Verse 2

For years, we have stayed together

 As lovers and as friends

 What we have will last forever

 If we're strong enough to bend

Bridge

 When you say something that you can't take back

Big wind blows and you hear a little 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

Verse 3

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

Instrumental

Bridge

 When you start thinkin' that you know it all

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

Verse 4

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.
