Array ( [sid] => 67407 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => if i were your tree [time] => 2004-10-14 12:03:27 [hometext] => even if i were somethin else...i'd still love you forever [bodytext] => wish i could be like this tree
the only one, you're perfect scenery
my leaves would be red and green
full and thick and you'd still see through me
to my bark which you agree
is as good as pure gold
and always will i stand for you
never ever will i fall, my love

in the summer when you're so hot
i hope you will sit under me
in the spring i hope you watch me bloom
and love the colors that you see
in the winter i'd gather so much snow
and be the most beautiful thing
you've ever known
and always will i stand for you

i'll be that support for your swing
as i stand over you watching you sleep
i'd guard you from rain only a sweet breeze
would lightly go through my leaves
hitting your face ever so gently
if i were a tree, my love i'd be
the strongest most beautiful tree for thee
my leaves would dance only for you to see

and lord if i should fall before he wakes
i pray my wood he will cut up and take
take to the fire to keep him so warm
or use me to protect him during
the darkest storm
hope my heat is everlasting and strong
i pray he uses all of me
till i am completely gone.
