Kathy Mattea - As Long as I Have a Heart lyrics

Surprise goodbyes and tears unanswered Promises that fall Can leave your precious dreams defenseless Back against the wall But I will hold them tenderly Your secrets are a part of me As long as I have a heart, you've a safe place to dream in A tree to carve your name in as long as I have a heart As long as you need a love that time won't take away Baby, you have it made as long as I have a heart A hail of dew, can you think your thoughts in? A garden where they grow A peaceful place to settle down in Away from winds that blow My love will always hold you near No matter where you go, you're here As long as I have a heart, you've a safe place to dream in A tree to carve your name in as long as I have a heart As long as you need a love that time can't take away Baby, you have it made as long as I have a heart Your family ties are tightly sewn My arms will always be your home As long as I have a heart, you've a safe place to dream in A tree to carve your name in as long as I have a heart As long as you need a love that time won't take away Baby, you have it made as long as I have a heart
