Started to think of the first love, you know that puppy love that you never seem to be able to forget

Lyrics
Verse 1
I carved your name in a maple tree
I made it big so all could see
The love in my soul, and that you belonged to me
I put an arrow thru that heart
This sealed the deal so we’d never part
And you placed a flower for me, at the base of that tree
Verse 2
We counted stars like grains of sand
Your every wish was my command
We shared our dreams, our hopes, and our plans
You wanna teach third grade someday
I’ll write my songs and sing and play
Looking back, we dreamed our Love away
Refrain
For life’s simple goals, may not unfold
To the path we intend to take
And sometimes love it seems, we forsake
And we tried our best with no success
To make our true love stay
Young lovers seem to dream, their love away
Break
Refrain
For life’s simple goals, may not unfold
To the path we intend to take
And we tried our best with no success
To make our true love stay
Young lovers seem to dream, their love away
Verse 3
I carved that heart when I was ten
And you where nine and so divine
And time has past, but the love will always last
And though our paths did not entwine
My heart still fills, when I come to find
A flower for me, at the base of that tree
A flower there for everyone to see
A flower there to show you think of me
