The Giving Tree Lyrics

far too fine to be
you quiver so faint in front of me
far too kind to me
you follow me down every time I leave for the giving tree
to the giving tree again
to the giving tree again
to the giving tree again
whoop!
you spun me a cloak of wool from the sheep out back
you stand me up straight when I lean back and then you smile
you are far too kind to me
you follow me down every time I leave for the giving tree
to the giving tree again
to the giving tree again
to the giving tree again
oh!
follow me follow me follow me follow me follow me follow me down down down down down down..

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
