If you gave your heart to me

If you gave your heart to me

If you gave your heart to me
You’d never need to be afraid
That I would mistreat it
Or refuse the love it gave

Your heart would be a cherished gift
I’d watch over every day
And I would never give it cause
To feel dishonored or betrayed

I’d promise that I’d always
Keep it safe and sound and warm
I’d protect it as I would my own
Against life’s raging storms

I’d try to heal the painful scars
Left by those who were unkind
I’d replace its fears
With hopes and dreams
And a faith that’s never blind

I would feel so very lucky
If you gave your heart to me
Nobody in this world would feel
More grateful than I’d be
