Listen to my Heart

There are times when my words are confusin'

or the way that I say them's too strong--

when my words aren't the ones you'ld be choosin',

and it's easy to take them all wrong...

Though I've pulled on a heart-string that's tender,

and I see, on your cheek, there's a tear,

know that "clumsy's" just part of my gender,

and you're all that I love and hold dear.

Chorus: So I wish you could hear my soul speakin';

Choosin' words is a frustrating art.

You would know mine's the love that you're seekin',

if you could just hear the words of my heart.

For, the words, so inadequate, haunt me,

and I wish I were born with the knack,

but the terms that I need ever taunt me

on the savvy and tact that I lack.

What I need you to know, dear, is never

would I say things, on purpose, to harm.

You're the love of my life and forever.

You're the sunshine that keeps my world warm.

Chorus: So I wish you could hear my soul speakin';

Choosin' words is a frustrating art.

You would know mine's the love that you're seekin',

if you could just hear the words of my heart.
