Lyrics
MAGNOLIA
© Words and Music by Dori Weaver
Verse:
Out the kitchen window grows a special tree
She stands bringing memories back to me
When I was a kid 'bout 2 feet high
Dad looked at me, said hey small fry
It's May, time to check on her leaves
Reached up, found a flower for me
His big wide grin, mighty strong hands
Planted her before he grew into a man
Chorus:
Magnolia growin' so high
I couldn't reach her limbs in the sky
Daddy picked the best one for me
From the fragrant bloomin', unassumin'
Sweet smellin' blossom just perfumin'
Hallelujah, our magnolia tree
Verse:
Out that kitchen window, grows a special sight
She stands bringing memories back to life
That day in June where we were wed
Her roof of shade where our vows were said
Hot nights where we'd go to run away
Dark days where we'd bow our heads to pray
Summers passed, autumns came along
We waited, winters seemed so long for
Chorus:
Magnolia growin' so high
I couldn't reach her limbs in the sky
My love picked the best one for me
From the fragrant bloomin', unassumin'
Sweet smellin' blossom just perfumin'
Hallelujah, our magnolia tree
Bridge:
Now I see my life out this window
As I watch my boys grow to men
Climbing high as they reach to the sky
Takes me back again and again.....to
Chorus:
Magnolia growing so high
I still can't reach her limbs in the sky
My boys pick the best one for me
From the fragrant bloomin', unassumin'
Sweet smellin' blossom just perfumin'
Hallelujah, our magnolia tree
Outro:
Out the kitchen window grows a special tree
She stands bringing memories back to me
