Strong As An Oak Lyrics - Singles - Rachel Proctor

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 anniversary 

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 weepin' willow 

Every time the wind starts to blow 

But one of these days she's gonna be strong 

Strong like the oak 

Now she hates the thought of leavin' 

As much as she hates to stay 

But somewhere in her heart she still needs him 

But not as much as she did yesterday 

And she cries like that weepin' 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 

Right now she's afraid of being alone 

But she's been alone for years 

She cries like that weepin' willow 

Every time the wind starts to blow 

But one of these days she's gonna be strong 

Strong like the oak 

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

Strong as an oak
