VERSE 1   Look at you, looking at me with those trusting eyes   You're making me believe in me   In my arms, resting you lay with so little care   Just knowing I am here   And if a trait of nature fell to me   I know what I'd wish it to be      CHORUS   I want to be the tallest tree   Standing in your world   One who you can look up to   Whose branches spread and cover you   One who grows more every year   So you can see the view from here   If life will grant me just one thing   I'm gonna be your tallest tree      VERSE 2   Look at you, lavishing me as if I were a king   I'm sure I don't deserve this   So many dreams, so many things you seem to see in me   And that you're helping me to see   But can I really live up to, the faith I feel in you      CHORUS   I want to be the tallest tree   Standing in your world   One who you can look up to   Whose branches spread and cover you   One who grows more every year   So you can see the view from here   If life will grant me just one thing   I'm gonna be your tallest tree      BRIDGE   And if a trait of nature ever were to fall to me   I know what I would pray, I'd ask for just one thing      CHORUS   I'm gonna be the tallest tree, in your world   Whose branches spread and cover you   One who grows more every year   So you can see the view   I'm gonna stand sure and strong   I'll never leave, I'm rooted down   You can rest in the truth   Of always knowing I love you   If God will grant me this one thing   I'm gonna be your tallest tree
