Week 24 - Roots Beneath The Tree (230611)

from Song A Week, Vol. 8 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Sunlight water and good soil turn a sapling to a tree
Year by year kiss by kiss that's a lot like you n' me
Six weeks married dug a little hole in our front yard
Planted something small and it grew inside our hearts

We keep on growing together
Like the roots beneath the tree
Deep within this Willow
A lifetime of memories

Seasons come and seasons go
Winter strips the bright green summer leaves
Our love's a little stronger every year (pause)
Roots beneath the tree

You n' me were startin' out barefoot in the dirt
Puttin' in the time together 'cuz we know what it's worth
Seen it all from rain to hurricanes we always hold our ground
Branches reachin' higher love growin' deeper down
