Love Comes From the Heart
I think I've been asleep
for just about seven years
I told myself that life goes on
and I shed not any tears.
I lived my life every day
I would say...totally unaware
that somewhere in this world
There is someone that might care
I've been so wrapped up in nothing
that I simply gave up on life
Not wishing or hoping anything
or even consider.. I could be a wife.
Who would want me anyway?
I'm older and way past my prime
But something sparked my interest
Just in the nick of time
I can tell you I was completely surprised
by the compliment from cyberspace.
It said I think you gorgeous and fair...
He hadn't seen the lines on my face.
so of course I told him the truth,
My own words sealing my fate
I would like to get to know you
but I fear you are too late.
I had to be honest with him
right from the very start
but he said age is just a number
and love comes from the heart.
Those words I believe woke me up
to the new possiblities of life
Who knows what life can bring?
I may even become a wife.
And even if that can't be
I will never again depart
from "Age is just a number"
love comes from the heart.
