Barbara, It's Your Tree Songtext
von Bernice

Barbara, take a chance on me
You have loved so carefully
Raising a family couldn′t have been easy

You know this isn't a practice run
Now that you′re 93
You see the beauty in everyone
And smile so secretly

But now I found you a window
It's purple and green
Outside is a willow
You said it was your favorite tree
Barbara, this is your tree
Barbara, it's your tree


Barbara, what′s the shape of time?
Talk to me about your dream
You say you still feel fine
Are you as you really seem?

You know this isn′t a practice run
Now that you're 93
You see the beauty in everyone
And smile so secretly

I know you hold on to feeling
It′s always so attached to time
But now's the moment for healing
Look out and see your perfect sign

Barbara, you′ll be fine
Barbara, it's your tree

So shouldn′t we dance?
I'm offering my hand
Show me how to be me
I think you understand

Barbara, it's your tree
Your dream
