Oak Tree (Original Song)

Original song by The Expected Returns. Lyrics:
Intro:
Oak tree oak tree I've watched you grow
Strong and steady branches spreading wide
And me you've seen growing too
To a man from a child

Verse 1:
When you were planted I was just a little boy
Hardly able to stand up on my own
I need lovin' and so did you
The care to nurture a seed sown

Pre Chorus:
And when the winds came they blew your leaves down
And when I lost love it turned my head around

Chorus:
Oak tree oak tree I've watched you grow
Strong and steady branches spreading wide
And me you've seen growing too
To a man from a child

Verse 2:
And when you grew strong your branches I would climb
I look around from high atop the crown
Seeing new sites from a bird's eye point of view
Never wanting to come down

Pre Chorus:
And when spring came your leaves would start to bud
And in my life I've known love again

Chorus:
Oak tree oak tree I've watched you grow
Strong and steady branches spreading wide
And me you've seen growing too
To a man from a child

Verse 3:
And now I'm weathered and showing my age
And you're still standing straight and tall
Your limbs reach out to heaven they are bound
And I look up in wonder of it all

Pre Chorus:
And so we'll grow on you and I my friend
And you'll live long after my story ends

Chorus:
Oak tree oak tree I've watched you grow
Strong and steady branches spreading wide
And me you've seen growing too
To a man from a child
Oak tree oak tree I've watched you grow
Strong and steady branches spreading wide
And me you've seen growing too
To a man from a child
