If I Give My Heart To You

(v1)
Broken once in tiny pieces, my heart has a memory
As we get closer every day, my heart keeps reminding me
I’m afraid to go too far, heartaches linger from the past
If I fall in love again, I want to know that it will last
CHORUS
If I give my heart to you
Will you keep it safe and warm
Hide it from the darkest storm
And will you protect it from all harm
If I give me heart to you
If I give me heart to you
(v2)
As we move on I ask of you, go slow and understand
My heart’s not sure it’s ready yet, it beats on shifting sand
With reassuring tenderness, it just might come around
Then the ties that want to hold it back, will slowly come unwound
