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�
I really love you
