"The Smallest Trees" lyrics

What I felt for you
In my my childhood ways
Could only be known
In a childhood's days

What I gave to you
With my childhood heart
Was a love so real
It would blow me apart

Oh the smallest trees
Hold the most beautiful birds
And the smallest mouths
Speak the most beautiful words

Why does it take so long
To get back to where we all come from
The smallest trees
Hold such beautiful birds

When you run to me
With your arms so wide
When I hold you hand
And we're side by side

When you shine the light
Of your upturned face
All my sorrows are gone
And I've found my place

Now my days grow short
I won't get much more
And my eyes can see
What they missed before

How a heart so young
Has a love so true
But whatever I have left
I give it all to you

Oh the smallest trees
Hold the most beautiful birds
And the smallest mouths
Speak the most beautiful words
Why does it take so long
To get back to where we all come from
Oh the smallest trees
Hold such beautiful birds

What I felt for you
In my childhood days
Could only be known
In a childhood's ways
What I gave to you
With a childhood heart
Was a love so real
It would blow me apart

Now my days grow short
I won't get much more
And my eyes can see
What they missed before
How a mind so young
Has a heart so true
But what I have left
I give it all to you
