Rachel proctor lyrics strong as an oak lyrics

There's two trees in Becky Hill's front yard

One big, and one small

That big oak has been there for ages

And they planted that willow last fall



He bought it for their anniversery

So they could watch it grow like their love

But each day she looks out the window

To see it not growing that much



And she cries like that weeping willow

Every time the wind starts to blow

But one of these days she's gonna be strong

Strong like the oak



She hates the thought of leavin'

As much as she hates to stay

'Cause somewhere in her heart she still needs him

But not as much as she did yesterday



And she cries like that weeping willow

Every time the wind starts to blow

But one of these days she's gonna be strong

Strong like the oak



She'll walk out that screen door

And hold her head high

Won't look back, won't shed a tear

Righ now she's afraid of being alone

But she's been alone for years



And she cries like that weeping willow

Every time the wind starts to blow

But one of these days she's gonna be strong

Strong like the oak



Oh, one of these days she's gonna be strong

Strong as an oak
