In every heart there is room
|
A sanctuary safe and strong
|
To heal the wounds from lovers past
|
Until a new one comes along
|
I spoke to you in cautious tones
|
You answered me with no pretense
|
And still I fear I¡¯ve said too much
|
My silence is my self defense
|
|
For every time I¡¯ve held a rose
|
It seems only felt the thorn
|
And so it goes and it goes
|
And so will you soon, I suppose
|
But my silence made you leave
|
Then that would be my worst mistake
|
So I will share this room with you
|
And you can have this heart to break
|
|
And this is why my eyes are closed
|
It¡¯s just as well for all I¡¯ve seen
|
And so it goes and so it goes
|
And you¡¯re the only one who knows
|
So I would choose to be with you
|
That¡¯s if the choice ere mine to make
|
But can make decision, too
|
And you can have this heart to break
|
|
And this is why my eyes are closed
|
It¡¯s just as well for all I¡¯ve seen
|
And so it goes and so it goes
|
And you¡¯re the only one
|
Who knows
|
