| Heart In A Box I keep my heart in a box, locked and tucked away And with it my emotions – in that box is where they stay One day I locked them up and only I have the key So no one else can access them – no one else but me Then one day you came along and my heart I wanted to share And with it my emotions, to show you that I care But I’m so afraid to open the box for fear of what you’ll do I want to give my heart to you But to it please be true This box I have now has a new lock – one of a different kind I give you the combination now and try to have peace of mind That you will be gentle to my heart and not let it bruise or break For you are the only one who, this box I will let take So open the lock I gave to you – In this box is all of me U don’t need a combination, Just your love for me So here it is my heart and all my emotions that were inside You’ve seen it all, every part of me I have nothing left to hide Now that you’ve seen it, what do you think? Has it changed the way you feel? Has it made you love me any less, or has it made your love more real? I gave to you the best I could by giving you my heart And with it my emotions too, I gave you every part Copyright Carol L. Parent April 2000 |
