this heart lyrics

(Nanci Griffith)

This heart was almost taken
This heart had a love of its own
This heart was reawakened
When you came along

This heart was born feet runnin'
This heart saw your porch light on
This heart hit the sidewalk wonderin'
Why you left it on

Chorus
This heart was stranded in the winter
Stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes
This heart knows
When the love comes
And when it goes

This heart hears the telephone ringin'
This heart is gonna let it go
'cause this heart feels the bells she's hearin'
Aren't the telephone
This heart has heard your laughter
This heart had learned how to smile
This heart is your true believer
If you'll stay awhile

Chorus

This heart this heart

Chorus

This heart was almost taken
This heart was born feet runnin'
This heart hears the telephone ringin'
Gonna let it go
