ADOPT MY HEART

I’m looking for a home for my heart

A place it can beat, feel complete

I want my heart to have a loving home

Safe and protected and never alone

Can you adopt my heart?

I mean I don’t have to leave

But every time you walk away…

My heart can barely breathe

My heart cries out

I wanna’ go with her!

Although you don’t know it

I can hear every word

And each time I have to explain

That I need you, heart, to live

My heart says why can’t I be with her

And I say that’s just the way it is

So it stops beating fast

At the thought of the news

Feeling sad, sending messages to me

Like it has the blues

Can you adopt my heart?

I mean you’re pre-qualified

And I saw how much love you give

Looking deep in-your-side

You don’t have to sign any papers

I don’t need a background check

My heart has its own criteria

And yes you fit it best

He can go right now

I know he’ll be treated right

And maybe for the first time in a while

We’ll both sleep well tonight because

If my heart has a home

And it’s at your address

It means I’ve found love..

Found love at its best

So will you adopt my heart?

Just look at that smile

Listen to it beating…beating

With the innocence of a child

Just adopt my heart

I’ll gift wrap it with a hug

And the card will simply say

Signed from me to you; the only one I love
