Plain White T's - The Giving Tree with Lyrics

From their EP "Should've Gone to Bed", released in April 2013. Tim is singing instead of Tom if anyone wonders.

I do not own the rights for this song.

[JohannaAFlorez]

I feel so sad for anyone who can strongly relate to these lyrics.

Its been 4 years since I heard that song it was and still is my favorite song. Every time I here that beautiful song and I was only 8 but I still remembered that song ever since I first heard that beautiful song. And it brings back memories.

I love to one dissonant chord at the very beginning of the song. it really sets the tone for the whole song

[PrimaryOctopus]

A great song based on one of my favorite stories as a kid- so much nostalgia!

[cesnutss]

this was my favorite song in 2nd grade. my teacher would read the book and play this song afterwards, and i loved it! i just remembered it and now i’m here :).

[lalduhawma]

I was like 7 years old now I'm 17.( Thanks to Lord's grace)

[zheiy]

i keep seeing "this song is so underrated."

people, people. we need to keep gems like this to ourselves. other people find this and it ruins what makes this song more special.

[goophugg]

Ahhhh... I just went on YouTube to hear the song again even though I herd it from school today. This has to be the most heart touching song ever!!!💗 This song is probably better then the book!!!💗💗💗💗

[creepyoldgrandpa]

People keep saying this song is underrated, but that’s not the case, everyone who hears it loves it, it’s just underheard, people who have heard it all love it

[mel.o]

Did anyone else read the book as a kid and cry because you felt bad for the tree and now when you listen to this all you can do is cry because you relate to the song so much? No?? Just me?? Ok. Ima go cry now.

[microscopicchibi]

I am in 8th grade and remember clear as day that book, my teacher gave it to me in PreK. I read it until 5th grade when I wanted a break from life. This song is such a good reminder of the good old days.

[wefhbnj]

I got so damn Emotionally attached To the book I read it during Childhood Forgot about it Remembered it today and watched it started crying.

[adelineedgecombe]

I keep hearing it brings tears .guess thats life.
Thank you evry one of you
Or is it a one man 😍😘😘composition

I just read Silverstein's book for the first time ever and it made me cry. It made me think of this song, god I love their interpretation of the story.

[Numba]

Man this song is so simple and yet so heart-wrenching. May he never be afraid to go on giving even though he suffered from it this time. Jesus Christ be with you friends.😊

[saoirsemichel]

It’s 2020 and I’m still hooked with this song. ❣️and hey there delilah!

[jonlancaster]

Breaks me completely every time I hear it every single day of my life of twenty plus years of my life with my wife plays out in front of my eyes like a damned hurtful movie that I can't escape...twenty years of love thrown away for drugs and another man that treats her like dirt when all I tried to do was make a life worth living for us...I was such a fool...

[ThatPankakeNerd]

I found this song when my marching band did a show about the giving tree. And I think that's really cool.

[redhoneysugarorange]

Man, I really do love this song. It's too bad not many people know about it.

[TheCshamblen]

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, the sad man, behind blue eyes..? Fun connection if you know both songs
