[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Dear old tree in my front yard
Thank you for the shade
Your leaves are speckled with streaming rays of sun
And I love the rustling sound they make
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The swing on your branch is my favorite spot
And I'm sorry for the steps we nailed into your bark
[Chorus]
Yes, I'll love you forever
Yes, I'll love you still
And I'll love you more than any man
Oh, I always will
[Verse 2]
Dear old chickens that wander through my yard
Thank you for the eggs that you've laid
Oh, their blue/green shells are speckled with dirt
And I love the rustling sound they make
[Pre-Chorus 2]
While chasing you is something I admit I've done a lot
I would never steam or fry you or put you in a pot
[Chorus]
Yes, I'll love you forever
Yes, I'll love you still
And I'll love you more than any man
Oh, I always will
[Verse 3]
Dear old house that I grew up in
I miss you when I'm gone
The dog hair on my sofa
And the light through my window at dawn
[Pre-Chorus 3]
While I know at times it seems like I am far away
I'll be home on thanksgiving and on Christmas day
[Chorus]
Yes, I'll love you forever
Yes, I'll love you still
And I'll love you more than any man
Oh, I always will
[Chorus]
Yes, I'll love you forever
Yes, I'll love you still
And I'll love you more than any man
Oh, I always will
