If I Gave My Heart Away
If I Gave My Heart Away...
If I gave my heart away,
Would you accept it, or say “Nay?”
Would you hold it, close to you,
Ever faithful, ever true?
Or, would you spread it all around,
By selling pieces, by the pound?
If I gave my heart to you,
What, exactly would you do?
Clutch it tightly to your breast,
And value me above the rest?
Or take it now, to hold a place,
'Til you find a nicer face?
Do I truly have a chance,
To learn a lesson in romance?
Flying high, my heart with wings,
To study love, and other things.
Or, falling fast, the outcome certain,
To find that I am truly hurtin'
Would you think my love a treasure,
Full of fun, rife with pleasure?
Would you call me, just for fun,
To tell me that I am “THE ONE?”
Would you think me soft and warm,
Or just that “port in a storm?”
