Four initials on a tree still there for all to see
Four initials on a tree that's all that's left of love
I shouldn't have come here back to my old hometown
I left too many mem'ries lying round
I walked by the schoolhouse and down old lover's lane
And stopped by the tree where I once carved your name
Four initials on a tree...
We made a promise to love till the end of time
You soon broke your promise I kept mine
How often I thought what a great world this would be
If love would just last like initials on a tree
