The Heart

The heart is a terrible thing to waste A terrible thing to ignore Much better to say that you gave it away Then letting it die on the floor Just anyone’s heart is yours to touch Just anyone’s heart is real It doesn’t relate to the food that you ate It responds to the way that you feel Your pet has a heart that is faithful and true It knows when you’re gentle and kind It longs to be loved by the love in your heart It cries when you leave it behind The family of man is the story of hearts The heart is what matters the most You give it away to the people you love No less than the heart of a ghost If you have a heart that is tiny inside A secret that nobody knows Then give it away by the end of the day And you’ll be surprised when it grows!
