about

Seedling Pine was written by Phillips for his wonderful wife, Susan (also the mother of Quinn), who loves the mountains. With a banjo on his knee, Phillips wrote the song on a boat in the middle of Lake Jocassee somewhere between the two Carolinas.

lyrics

There's a little seedling pine on the mountain
that reminds me of my early love with you.
Though we've stood the test of time like the old tall pines,
like that little seedling pine, our love's still new.
Though in winter, it bends with the snowfall,
and the windstorms cause it to shake,
we have weathered our own storms since our love was newborn.
Like that little seedling pine, we'll never break.

It has been many years since our wedding
in that little country chapel in the pine.
From the mountains to the sea, you're the one for me.
You will always be my lovely Valentine.
Though that seedling will rise toward the heavens,
from the earth will grow another seedling too
to remind us of our love and our blessings from above.
Like that little seedling pine, our love's still new.

Though that seedling will rise toward the heavens,
from the earth will grow another seedling too
to remind us of our love and our blessings from above.
Like that little seedling pine, our love's still new,
ever faithful, evergreen, ever true.
