A Good Heart
I hear a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true
All about love and what it can do for you
High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt
And still I have so much to learn
Well I know 'cause I think about it all the time
I know that real love is hard to find
And a good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
My expectations may be high, I blame it on my youth
Soon enough I'll learn the painful truth
I'll face it like a fighter then boast how I've grown
Anything is better than being alone
Well I know 'cause I learn a little every day
I know 'cause I listen when the experts say that...
A good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
As I reflect on all my childhood dreams
My ideas od love weren't as foolish as they seemed
If I don't start looking now I'll be left behind
And a good heart these days, it's hard to find
Well I know, it's a dream I'm willing to defend
I know it will be worth it in the end
A good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
