The Wilkinsons - Trees Lyrics

Billy works on Wall Street

In an office on the 22nd floor

He never sees how Jenny's eyes light up each day

When he walks through that door

While she's wishin' she could be the one

To fill his every need

He's looking back at love he lost

Somewhere in Tennessee

CHORUS:

Trees, can blind us to the forrest

'Til we never even notice

All the love that's right before us

We can't see the flowers that are bloomin'

Sometimes the truth gets hidden by the leaves

Of trees

Becky slams the bedroom door

Her mama says tonight she's stayin' in

What gives her the right to make up

All the rules and try to pick her friends

Becky doesn't understand a single mother's job is tough

And all her rules are just reflections of a mama's love

CHORUS:

Trees, can blind us to the forrest

'Til we never even notice

All the love that's right before us

We can't see the flowers that are bloomin'

Sometimes the truth gets hidden by the leaves

Of trees

There's beauty all around us

If we read between the lines

There's so much waitin' for us

If we only look behind

CHORUS:

Those trees, that blind us to the forrest

'Til we never even notice

All the love that's right before us

We can't see the flowers that are bloomin'

Sometimes the truth gets hidden by the leaves

Of trees

Of trees
