Tree of Hearts

Tree of Hearts - The Hit Crew

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 the

Tree of hearts
