Keep One Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sure took your time
I've been waiting here so long
But you keep tellin' me
To just hold on
But now your back
But you'll be leavin' me again
Oh I just want your love
But you just need a friend
And with a wounded heart
You come to me
For a best friend's advice
And sympathy
Oh if I could
Keep one heart from breakin'
Keep one heart from makin'
A big mistake
It'd be yours
Oh if I could
Keep one heart from breakin'
Keep one heart from makin'
If I could keep
One heart
It'd be yours
Stop standin' there
Won't you open up your mind
Darlin' don't you take too long
Because my heart's on the line
Just close your eyes
And think of you and I alone
And how I've wanted you
And how my love for you has grown
If I could have one wish
I'd set you free
From you holdin' him
Instead of me
Oh if I could
Keep one heart from breakin'
Keep one heart from makin'
A big mistake
It'd be yours
Oh if I could
Keep one heart from breakin'
Keep one heart from makin'
If I could keep
One heart
It'd be yours
