If I Could Be Your Heart

by Joanne Bessom

If I could be your heart
I'd welcome you with open arms
Being warm with a soft sigh
Never giving you any harm

If I could be your heart
I'd let you dream sweet dreams
The ones that wake you up with a smile
Taking you into your night with moonbeams

If I could be your heart
I would let you see how kind you are
Much more than just for a moment
Without looking further than you are

If I could be your heart
And I end up being broken
You would feel my real pain
Only to have me much more strengthened

If I could be your heart
I'd set you on the right course
To find courage to love again
You would never have to look back

If I could be your heart
Your music wouldn't be just a tune
I'd give you a prayer through the songs you play
And those that listen will be touched by all your tunes

Yes, if I could be your heart
Your tears would become your smile
Your eyes would sparkle and I would glisten
Yes, you'd want me to stay a very long while
If I could be your heart
