4:39I put a cherry stem in my mouth It was tied in a knot when it came out I said to you that you owe me a kiss You said, "No way that that is real It's just a kiss you're trying to steal" You said, "Okay though, if you insist" And we tied a thousand cherry stems that night We slept by that cherry tree Until we saw the morning light Now every time that I see one of them I thank the Lord for those cherry stems A few months later, went to that tree I had planned to get on a knee I've been waiting for you for all my life Wanted to ask but didn't know how 'Til I saw a cherry stem on the ground I tied one on your finger and said, "Be my wife" And we tied a thousand cherry stems that night We slept by the cherry tree Until we saw the morning light Now every time that I see one of them I thank the Lord for those cherry stems Oh, those cherry stems A few years later, I bought you a house We had a couple kids to run around You say that every time that you see one of them You thank the Lord You thank the Lord You thank the Lord For those cherry stems For those cherry stems Whoa, those cherry stems Oh, those cherry stems Oh, those cherry stems Oh, those cherry stems Oh, those cherry stems
