There's a tree out in the backyard   That never has been broken by the wind   And the reason it's still standing   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 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      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      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      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
