Rice Chris - My Tree Lyrics

On a hill far away stands a tall mighty tree Where a boy and girl used to take turns pushing the tire swing I remember the pocketknife in hand And her name in my heart And thinkin' there ain't no way for a boy to contain The love that he feels inside So I carved her name into my tree Then I carved a heart around her name Then I carved an arrow through the heart Just to say "I love you" Now on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame I remember the nails through my hands And your name in my heart And how in their wordless way the nails explain The love that I feel inside As they carved your name into my tree Where I wrapped my heart around your name Then I took your arrow through my heart Just to say, "I love you" Just to say, "I love you" Now I can never forget how much you mean to me 'Cause I will always remember whenever I see Where I carved your name into my tree Where I wrapped my heart around your name Then I took your arrow through my heart Just to say, "I love you" Just to say, "I love you" Rice Chris Lyrics My Tree Lyrics
