The Walls of my Heart


The Walls of my Heart My heart once had walls up so high It seemed like they could reach the sky It was safe and had no fear It never let someone come near My life then changed when I met you I never knew something this true As you came near my walls fell down I’ll scream your name across the town My heart now knows what it can be To be a part of “you and me” I look at you, it warms my heart I know we’ll never fall apart Those walls of fear now are gone As you sing me a loving song I sit at home and wonder how I’m so lucky to have you now So hold me close and hold me tight You’ll keep me warm throughout the night No more tears or times to cry I know we won’t have a goodbye I'll walk in the shadows for you and me Although it's something you'll never see You took my hand And helped me stand When we're apart I know it's true I'll never be quite done with you These walls of stone have fallen down Now I can see across the town To build them up wouldn not be right I want to have you in my sight Stone by stone, brick by brick I know it will never be as thick For you there will always be a door If I'm the one you're looking for And in any circumstance You'll always have a second chance So come close best friend This can't be the end I'll be here for you through any fright I'll be here for you day or night
