Tree Of Hearts Lyrics – Bryan White

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

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

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

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

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 it's mark on my tree of hearts
