Heart Song |
| And so we turn my friends once more to matters of the heart |
| A word that’s used so much I hardly know where to start |
| Yours is hungry for adventure |
| It’s a little left of centre |
| I’m so very grateful for your heart |
| Perhaps the thing I love the most is its profound compulsion |
| To pump your blood around your body of its own propulsion |
| Moving oxygen and energy |
| With unfailing regularity |
| I’m so very grateful for your heart |
| So often celebrated |
| Maybe it’s overrated |
| And your skin keeps out the weather |
| It holds you all together |
| And I can’t help wondering whether I’m |
| Equally grateful for your skin |
| Now you have a beautiful heart |
| But other organs deserve our love too |
| How come we never hear such songs about the lungs or liver |
| You’ve a fine pair of the one and an impressive example of the other |
| When you tell me that you love me |
| Or pour yourself a glass of whisky |
| I’m so very grateful for your lungs and your liver |
| And when we say heart that’s just a code for something in the brain |
| I want no part in that encroaching theft of word terrain |
| Plus did you know without the head |
| You could even wind up dead |
| I’m so very grateful for your brain |
| I put this to a friend |
| A doctor of medicine |
| She said without a kidney |
| You’d be in trouble quickly |
| Turns out the body is a complex machine of highly interrelated essential systems |
| Each composed of many unsung heroes |
| Now you have a beautiful heart |
| But other organs deserve our love too |
| And my friends, the time has come to recap from the start |
| I’m grateful for your skin |
| Yes grateful for your lungs and liver |
| Grateful for your brain |
| And whether you’re talking love or veins |
| I’m still so very grateful for your heart |
