Never Give All the Heart

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
As a boy, I lived in a million homes So I always would keep to myself The lessons I learned From the stories and poems I would steal from a library shelf The books like the rooms Weren't mine to keep But the words weren't left behind And I think of them all now when I can't sleep And a poet who read my mind As the wise men once wrote Never give all the heart Well, it's easy to see He was writing for me I just wish I could play that part He scribbled that love isn't worth thinking of That it fades out from kiss to kiss If I'd just learned those lines Just imagine the misery I'd miss As the Irish men said Don't put your heart in play Well, he warned of the cost And the heart that he lost Mister Yeats really paved the way For girls that I've known Who have clearly shown They've been reading him from the start 'Cause when it comes to me Their kisses come free But they never give all the heart They're writing songs of love But not for me A lovely star's above But not for me I guess I can't erase The mem'ry of her face Cause right from the start She was playing a part And she never gave all her heart She kissed me but her heart They're writing songs of love But not for all my heart
