Giving Tree Songtext
von Aaron Espe

Mom and dad,
I′m fine, how are you?
I've got important things to do
But while I have you
here, on the phone

Could you lend me a little cash?
I promise I can pay you back.
As soon as all my ducks
are in the road.

Family years have come to pass,
It′s obvious now, looking back
You surrendered everything.

And I think about that book
you read to me.
I know I'm the boy
You're the Giving Tree.


Mom and dad I′m coming home
I′m sorry but I can't stay long
I just need to grab a couple of things
And isn′t it too much to ask,
Can I take the Cadillac?
My car isn't what it used to be

Family years have come to pass,
It′s obvious now, looking back
You surrendered everything.
And I think about that book
you read to me.
I know I'm the boy
You′re the Giving Tree.

Family years have come to pass,
It's obvious now, looking back.
You surrendered everything.
And I think about that book
you read to me.
I know I'm the boy,
you′re the Giving Tree.

Yeah, I′m the boy,
you're the Giving Tree.
