Marc Almond - Heart In Velvet lyrics

Heart in velvet Heart in velvet Wrap my heart in velvet Put it in your pocket Take it out each evening Kiss it and love it Wrap my heart in velvet Save it for tomorrow When you're feeling sad Let it help you through your sorrow Wrap my heart in velvet Keep it safe from danger Let it be your friend When you feel like a stranger And if you love me Wrap my heart in velvet Wrap my heart in velvet Hide it safely away And save it for a rainy day Wrap my heart in velvet Seal my soul in silk Cover my kisses in satin Put them in a box for a rainy day Wrap my heart in velvet Let it be your treasure Let it give you the warmth That only love can measure Wrap my heart in velvet Let it be a token For the many times Your poor heart was broken Wrap my heart in velvet Till its fully grown There may be a moment That you lose your own And if you love me Wrap my heart in velvet Wrap my heart in velvet Hide it safely away And save it for a rainy day Wrap my heart in velvet Keep it in the cool and shade Let it hold the tears For the mistakes you made Wrap my heart in velvet For no more i'll need it Keep it like a child Nurture and feed it Wrap my heart in velvet Keep it near you when your sleeping Let it be the vessel For the love you're keeping And if you love me Wrap my heart in velvet Wrap my heart in velvet Hide it safely away And save it for a rainy day And don't hurt my heart Please don't hurt my heart Then you'll never see my cry You'll never see me die Wrap my heart in velvet
