My Heart Has Found a Home

My heart has found a home

So many years alone
my hearts without a home
Nights filled with fear
my heart sheds a tear

My loneliness had grown
my hearts without a home
my foolish heart spent
emotions paying rent

Bridge
Ev'ry night I'd pause and wonder
if love would come my way
if so, would it leave, or would it stay


Chorus
My heart has found a home
no need for it to roam
Love has come my way
I know that it will stay
My heart has found a home
it's home is here with you
you are it's dwelling place
love shines upon your face
my heart has found a home


Since you came to me
your love has set me free
I see love in your eyes
your heart now beats with mine

Lonely days are gone
our love will stay strong
Say you'll always stay
I need you here ev'ryday

Bridge
Ev'ry night I'd pause and wonder
if love would come my way
if so, would it leave, or would it stay


Chorus
My heart has found a home
no need for it to roam
Love has come my way
I know that it will stay
My heart has found a home
it's home is here with you
you are it's dwelling place
love shines upon your face
my heart has found a home

repeat chorus twice
fade to zero
