I poured my heart into a song And when you hear it please remember from the start You won't be hearing just the words and tune of a song You will be listening to my heart I poured my heart into a song And I'm afraid the words I chose were not so smart I couldn't think of clever things to say in my song I had to say it with my heart If it's never played on the hit parade It will still contain a heart that is beating true If it's not a hit I won't mind a bit long as it Conveys the love that I bear for you Here is my heart wrapped in a song And if you take it please don't tear my song apart For if you do you won't be just destroying a song You will be tearing up my heart
