Lyrics As Long As I Have A Heart - Kathy Mattea

As Long As I Have A Heart

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
