If my heart could speak

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)



I wish my heart could sing.
It would tell you what it really thinks.
It would sing you a love song.
It would tell you my most sincere sentiments.

I’d follow my heart instead of listening to my
mind.
I’d press my lips against your heart and take all the pain away.
Leaving a clean slate.
Making you able to accept a great love.

I wish my heart had wings,
I would fly you away to the highest mountain top.
Watch the rain drops.
Kissing you in the rain.
Making you forget all past pain.
