OPENER

Sides face, grand square
 There's a tree out in the backyard
    That never has been broken by the wind
    And the reason it's still standing
    It was strong enough to bend 
Circle to the left
 For years we have been together 
Left allemande, swing and promenade
 Our love will last forever
    If we're strong enough to bend

FIGURE

Heads (sides) promenade 1/2 way and go
Lead to the right, you dosado
Swing thru, boys run
You bend the line & a right and left thru
You flutterwheel, sweep 1/4
You pass thru, swing on the corner and promenade
 Our love will last forever
    If we're strong enough to bend 

BREAK

Sides face, grand square
  For years we have been together 
     As lovers and as friends
     What we have will last forever
     If we're strong enough to bend 
4 ladies chain
You turn the girl & then, chain 'em back again
Turn that girl and promenade
 Our love will last forever
    If we're strong enough to bend 

CLOSER

Sides face, grand square
 Like the tree out in the backyard
    That never has been broken by the wind
    Our love will last forever
    If we're strong enough to bend 
Circle to the left
 For years we have been together 
Left allemande, swing and promenade
 Our love will last forever
    If we're strong enough to bend
