BaIint - Carved Our Names in the Old Oak Tree Lyrics

We carved our names in the old oak tree way back when love was new
Beneath that summer sky I swore I'd always stay with you
The leaves were green the world was bright the future felt so sure
But now I stand here all alone where your memory still endures
We carved our names in the old oak tree but time had other plans
The road we walked together slipped right through our hands
Now the bark's grown rough and the years have grown cold
But I still see our names in that old oak's soul
You went your way and I went mine though love was hard to leave
But that old tree still holds the truth that only hearts believe
I thought the years would heal the pain but every time I pass
I see those faded letters still etched into the past
We carved our names in the old oak tree but time had other plans
The road we walked together slipped right through our hands
Now the bark's grown rough and the years have grown cold
But I still see our names in that old oak's soul
You went your way and I went mine though love was hard to leave
But that old tree still holds the truth that only hearts believe
I thought the years would heal the pain but every time I pass
I see those faded letters still etched into the past
We carved our names in the old oak tree but time had other plans
The road we walked together slipped right through our hands
Now the bark's grown rough and the years have grown cold
But I still see our names in that old oak's soul
Seasons change and people too but some things never fade
That oak still stands just like the vows that we once made
Though paths have parted and love's long gone
The tree remembers what went wrong
We carved our names in the old oak tree but time had other plans
The road we walked together slipped right through our hands
Now the bark's grown rough and the years have grown cold
But I still see our names in that old oak's soul
I'll leave you here beneath the sky where once our love was free
But I'll always know a part of us lives in that old oak tree
