Never Give All The Heart Lyrics - The Chieftains

Never give all the heart 

For love will hardly seem worth thinking of 

To passionate women if it seems certain 

Never give all the heart 

For love will hardly seem worth thinking of 

To passionate women if it seems certain 

And they never dream that it fades out from kiss to kiss 

For everything that's lovely is but a brief, dreamy, kind delight 

O never give the heart outright 

For they, for all smooth lips can say 

Have given their hearts up to the play 

And who could play it well enough 

If deaf and dumb and blind with love? 

He that made this knows all the cost 

For he gave all his heart and lost 

They, for all smooth lips can say 

Have given their hearts up to the play 

Never give all the heart
