A Good Heart

I've heard a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true.

All about love and what it can do to you.

High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt.

And still I have so much to learn.

I know, 'cause I think about it all the time.

I know that real love is quite a price.

And a good heart these days is hard to find.

True love, the lasting kind.

A good heart these days is hard to find.

So please be gentle with this heart of mine.

My expectations may be high, I blame that on my youth.

Soon enough I'll learn the painful truth.

I'll face it like a fighter then boast of how I've grown.

Anything is better than being alone.

I know 'cause I learn a little everyday.

I know 'cause I listen when the experts say.

And a good heart these days is hard to find.

True love, the lasting kind.

A good heart these days is hard to find.

So please be gentle with this heart of mine.

As I reflect on all my childhood dreams,

My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed.

If I don't start looking now, I'll be left behind.

And a good heart these days is hard to find.

I know it's a dream I'm willing to defend.

I know it all will be worth it in the end.

And a good heart these days is hard to find.

True love, the lasting kind.

A good heart these days is hard to find.

So please be gentle with this heart of mine.
