Strong Enough to Bend

There's a tree out in the back yard

That never has been broken by the wind

And the reason it's still standin'

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 somethin' that you can't take back

A big wind blows and you hear a little crack

When you say "Hey, well, I might be wrong"

You can sway with the wind 'til the storm is gone

(Sway with the wind 'til the storm is gone)

Like a tree out in the backyard

(Like a tree)

That never has been broken by the wind

Our love will last forever

(Our love)

If we're strong enough to bend

Yeah, hey!

When you start thinkin' that you know it all

A big wind blows and a branch will fall

When you say, "Hey, this job takes two"

We can sway with the wind 'til the skies turn blue

(Sway with the wind 'til the skies turn blue)

Like the tree out in the backyard

(Like the tree)

That never has been broken by the wind

Our love will last forever

(Our love)

If we're strong enough to bend

Our love will last forever

(Our love)

If we're strong enough to bend
