It must have been him Just a glimpse of a face in the crowd That's all it takes My heart is racing I stand in a trance As I stare at the back of a bus Knowing there's no use denying I can't stop thinking about us The story of a heart The story all of it mine Then you took it from me Every glorious line I was safe and warm And now I'm out in the cold And I know I shouldn't have told my story Story of a heart I laid myself open wide Yet to read the pages Where the ink hadn't dried All emotions pent up inside, my story I try to resist But the images keep coming through So many years Still I'm defenseless The house by the lake His hands resting awhile on the oars Speaking with quiet conviction Carefully unlocking doors The story of a heart The story all of it mine Then you took it from me Every glorious line I was safe and warm And now I'm out in the cold
And I know I shouldn't have told my story Story of a heart I laid myself open wide Yet to read the pages Where the ink hadn't dried All emotions pent up inside, my story Did he see me Or did I just imagine it all Putting a face on a stranger A face I find more and more hard to recall Never given up I look for you everywhere Time went by and sadness took the place of despair In a way you'll stay with me 'til d**h do us part Like a shadow deep in my heart forever The story of a heart I laid myself open wide Yet to read the pages Where the ink hadn't dried Swept away and lost in love What was I to do I just had to read it to you, my story The story of a heart The story all of it mine Then you took it from me Every glorious line I was safe and warm And now I'm out in the cold And I know I shouldn't have told my story
