Baby were you just about to kiss me
Or were you just about to leave
Come and sit down here beside me
Maybe take a moment just to breathe

Well I could say I’m sorry
And I could tell you I was wrong
I just can’t say FOREVER
But here after from NOW ON

I love you in the winter when the roots grow deep
Love you in the spring when the leaves turn green
I love you in the summer when the trees grow tall
I love you in the fall of the year
When the leaves turn brown
When they cover the ground
Down where the roots grow deep
My love will keep

Why worry ‘bout our future
If we’re not worried ‘bout our past
So don’t you worry ‘bout that question
You’ve been just about to ask

I love you in the winter when the roots grow deep
Love you in the spring when the leaves turn green
I love you in the summer when the trees grow tall
I love you in the fall of the year
When the leaves turn brown
When they cover the ground
Down where the roots grow deep
My love will keep
