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
