My Tree Lyrics by Chris Rice
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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"
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"
