I carved with love, my name, into that bark

like I was leaving a tattoo

The ones I also etched into my heart

Root to stem it played a part

A playmate every afternoon

I carved my name with love, into that bark

I feel like a sapling start

That grew a foot that day, in June

The ones I also etched into my heart

Standing strong beneath the stars

Gently tracing every groove

I carved my name with love, into that bark

Making sure she understood, on me, she also made a mark

We proudly wore our love, within view

The ones I also etched into my heart

No matter where I roam, we will never be apart

That’s what a childhood memories are supposed to do

I carved my name with love, into that bark

The ones I also etched into my heart
