tommy townsend – how high this tree will grow كلمات اغاني
[verse 1]
there’s a tall oak tree that was planted
on the day of my birth
by the hand of my father
in that mississippi earth
in the summer of my thirteenth year
he showed me wheere it stood
he put his arm around my shoulder
he said, “son, this life is good”
[chorus]
“but far be it from me to think i really know
i won’t live to see how high this tree will grow”
[verse 2]
daddy died at christmastime
when i was twenty_one
i sat beneath the oak tree
and i thought about all he’d done
there were no leaves upon it
and the sky was cold and gray
i felt a chill wind blowin’
i could hear my daddy say
[chorus]
“far be it from me to think i really know
i won’t live to see how high this tree will grow”
[verse 3]
now there’s a small oak tree that i planted
on the day of my daughter’s birth
next to the one that’s standin’ tall
in that mississippi earth
we walk out there and we talk sometimes
and i tell her, “this life is good
and grandpa would be proud of you
and he’d be here if he could”
[chorus]
but far be it from me to say i really know
but i think daddy sees how high these trees will grow
far be it from me to say i really know
but i think daddy sees how high these trees will grow
