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 'til the storm is gone
Sway with the wind 'til 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 thinking 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 'til the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind 'til 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
