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 bendFor years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bendWhen 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 bendYeahWhen 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
