ON A TREE INSIDE A HEART
|
A DULL BOY SCOUT KNIFE TOOK
|
HALF A DAY TO CARVE
|
MICHAEL LOVES CAROLINE
|
HE'D JUST TURNED TEN AND SHE WAS NINE
|
|
THE SUMMER SHE TURNED SWEET SIXTEEN
|
HE FINALLY FOUND HIS NERVE AND TOOK
|
HER OUT TO SEE
|
AND WHAT SHE SAW THROUGH HER TEARS
|
WAS SEVEN HEARTS FOR SEVEN YEARS
|
|
CHORUS: AND THEY STOOD BENEATH THE TREE OF HEARTS
|
AND THEY WATCHED THEIR FEELINGS GROW
|
AND THEY SWORE THEY'D NEVER BE APART
|
TRUE LOVE LEFT IT'S MARK
|
ON THE TREE OF HEARTS
|
|
THE TENTH TIME HE CARVED THEIR NAMES
|
CAROLINE'S DAD WAS GIVING HER AWAY
|
THERE BENEATH THE SHELTER OF
|
THE TREE OF HEARTS THEY PLEDGED
|
THEIR LOVE
|
AND THEN FOUR HEARTS DOWN THE ROAD
|
THEY BROUGHT THE FIRST OF TWO BORN HOME
|
|
CHORUS: AND THEY PLAYED BENEATH THE TREE OF HEARTS
|
AND THEY WATCHED THEIR CHILDREN GROW
|
AND THEY SWORE THEY'D NEVER BE APART
|
TRUE LOVE LEFT IT'S MARK
|
ON THE TREE OF HEARTS
|
|
BRIDGE: IN THE BLINKING OF AN EYE
|
SOMEHOW FIFTY-SEVEN HEARTS FLEW BY
|
|
FIFTY-EIGHT, FIFTY-NINE
|
SIXTY HE MISSED CAROLINE
|
AT SIXTY-ONE MICHAEL KNEW
|
THERE WOULDN'T BE A SIXTY-TWO
|
|
CHORUS: NOW THEY LAY BENEATH THE TREE OF HEARTS
|
AN YOU CAN WATCH THEIR LOVE STILL GROW
|
WHERE THEY SWORE THEY'D NEVER BE APART
|
TRUE LOVE LEFT ITS MARK
|
ON MY TREE OF HEARTS
