Lyrics
There’s something inside of my heart that cries,
It cries, it wants to live,
A song of devotion, a song that speaks of love.
It’s hard to believe that you can’t surmise,
The treasure I have to give.
Js love out of fashion, the thing that I’m dreaming of?

CHORUS
Give me a heart to sing to,
Or my song you’ll never hear,
For I must have a heart to sing to,
Or my song wouldn’t be sincere.
Give me your love to guide me,
Let us find a world apart,
And as long as you’re there beside me,
There’ll be melody in my heart.
I’m in your hands to take and hold me,
To make or mould me, if you but knew.
In you I find my consolation,
My destination depends on you.
Love must have love to cling to
As a leaf clings to a tree,
So I must have a heart to sing to,
And a heart that will sing to me.

This longing and yearning that fills my days,
This craving my spirit knows,
A wealth of affection alone can satisfy,
A glance or a gesture, a tender phrase
Can bring to my heart repose.
If ever I lost them, I know that my dream would die.

CHORUS
