Forever In My Heart
Forever in my heart
I looked inside my heart
and found her in the corner,
then asked her how long she had been in there
She said it’s seemed a while,
but she was disappointed,
to understand that I was not aware
I gazed into her eyes
and thought she looked familiar,
then wondered if she’d been there all along
She answered yes she had
and that she had been singing,
just hoping I would hear her loving song
Did it go like this?
A hummed for her a stanza
and saw a smile turn up on her face
Yes, she said, that’s it,
I guess you really heard it
the whole time I’ve been singing in this place
I really liked her song,
the beat was smooth and steady
It seemed that how I walked was like a dance
Just like a metronome,
clicking to a tempo,
hypnotically it put me in a trance
So I buttoned up my chest,
real tight around the collar
to make sure that she would not run away
And listened to her song,
remembering her smile,
forever in my heart I know she’ll stay
