Lone Tree Standing Lyrics - Tim O'brien

Now the stars are fading in the morning light 

And you're warm beside me in the early bright 

You're the one I wanted, you're the one I need 

And I feel so safe here and I feel so free 

I'd like to freeze this moment, I want to take this time 

I want to keep it with me, I want to make it mine 

But why cheat the future, why be afraid 

Cause when you have what I have, you know you got it made 

Chorus 

Like a lone tree standing on a mountain top 

One that keeps on living, one that just can't stop 

That's the kind of loving that I have for you 

And when the storm is over, I'll be there and true 

Many times I'm humbled by the ways of life 

And how a man can stumble onto fate's sharp knife 

But I'm never worried, no I'm never scared 

When you're here beside me, I know that I'll be spared 

Cause you don't take chances, you don't like loose talk 

And your ways are constant, you're a solid rock 

You're the one I wanted, you're the one I need 

And you showed me a new life and you helped me to be 

Chorus
