This Ol' Heart

This old heart's Been through enough Been through the promised land and wasteland We call love From the first "I love you" To the last "Amen" But still it keeps believin' And hopin' Prayin' love will come this way again These old eyes they've seen it all From the love notes to the writing on the wall From the first sweet kiss right thorough the bitter end But still they keep on searchin' And hopin' That love will someday light the way again But when I climb I climb too high And when I fall I fall too hard I can't be just a little bit in love When you're packin' up your things don't take my heart These old dreams Been beat and bruised Like a tattered flag I wave to call a truce From the fireworks Until the embers die But still they don't surrender, Don't give up You never know what's comin' by and by But when I give, I give too much And when I bend I break in two And I don't know how To take your leaving now Or where to put the life that we've lived through This old heart's Been through enough Been through the promised land and wasteland We call love From the first "I love you" To the last "Amen" But still it keeps believin' And hopin' Prayin' love will light the way again
