As Long As I Have A Heart Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

Surprise goodbyes and tears unanswered 

Promises that fall 

Can leave your precious dreams defenseless 

Back against the wall 

But I will hold them tenderly 

Your secrets are a part of me 

As long as I have a heart, you've a safe place to dream in 

A tree to carve your name in as long as I have a heart 

As long as you need a love that time won't take away 

Baby, you have it made as long as I have a heart 

A hail of dew, can you think your thoughts in? 

A garden where they grow 

A peaceful place to settle down in 

Away from winds that blow 

My love will always hold you near 

No matter where you go, you're here 

As long as I have a heart, you've a safe place to dream in 

A tree to carve your name in as long as I have a heart 

As long as you need a love that time can't take away 

Baby, you have it made as long as I have a heart 

Your family ties are tightly sewn 

My arms will always be your home 

As long as I have a heart, you've a safe place to dream in 

A tree to carve your name in as long as I have a heart 

As long as you need a love that time won't take away 

Baby, you have it made as long as I have a heart
