Chris Rice My Tree Lyrics

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"
