We hid behind the redwood tree
And my heart it skipped a beat
Felt like electricity
Was it love underneath it all
And to think way back then
When I just called you friend
There was a blossoming seed
Of love underneath, it all
Who would've known back then
This was (this was) the beginnings of love
Who would've known back then
This was (this was) the beginnings of love
Behind the redwood tree
Behind the redwood tree
Behind the redwood tree, was love
We're only friends, she said to me
Holding hands while we sleep
In her eyes, pure energy
Was it love underneath it all
To think that way back then
A secret love between friends
Though the cost was steep
Her love was worth it all
Who would've known back then
This was (this was) the beginnings of love
Who would've known back then
This was (this was) the beginnings of love
Behind the redwood tree
Behind the redwood tree
Behind the redwood tree, was love
No more, hide and seek
You found me beneath the redwood tree
No more (no more) playing hide and seek
(No more playing hide and seek)
You found me (you found me, you found me)
Beneath the redwood tree
Who would've known back then
This was (this was) the beginnings of love
Who would've known back then
This was (this was) the beginnings of love
Behind the redwood tree
Behind the redwood tree
Behind the redwood tree, was love
