My Tree Lyrics - Singles - Chris Rice

On a hill far away stands a tall mighty tree 

Where a boy and a 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
