The Church In Your Heart - Helen St. John

Can't we leave the world outside Just for a while, just for a while? And spend some time, you and I Under this bright glorious sky It's been so long since I first saw you But I still love that smile in your eyes Yes it's true, right from the start I believed in the church of your heart Yes it's you that made me be part of And believe in the church of your heart Step inside, lay yourself down Just for a while, rest for a while I can hear a thundering sound Beating inside when you're around It's been so long since I first met you Since we made love, you know how time flies Yes it's true, right from the start I believed in the church of your heart Yes it's you that made me be part of And believe in the church of your heart In the church of your heart, yeah Yes it's true, right from the start I believed in the church of your heart Yes it's you that made me be part of And believe in the church of your heart Pretty baby it's true, right from the start I believed in the church of your heart Yes it's you that made me be part of And believe in the church of your heart In the church of your heart

Night-time is so lonely When you hear a sound But it's only an empty heart Beating on through the night A sad sad drum And I'm lying here listening And the raindrops are all glistening In my dreams And it seems That the sun never comes And I want my sad reflection To go drifting through the skies To be in your eyes And I'm waking to this aching And it's breaking me in two All the space All the waste All the distance between me and you And the people with their voices Random choices will they ever learn To really see Really be on fire when their spirit burns I want the person inside me To be someone I'd recognize If he was in your eyes So I'm waiting, contemplating Relocating a faded image in my thoughts But the memories are like clouds Try so hard But they never can be caught But I'm trying, yes I'm trying But I'm only lying in the dark So alone On my own No one home And if love was worth a fortune Then I'd need a rise To be in your eyes I want these words to be the things I hoped you'd realized To be in your eyes

When the boy in your arms is the boy in your heart Then you've got everything When you're holding the dream you've been dreaming you'd hold You're as rich as a king So, hold him tight, and never let him go Day and night, let him know you love him so With the love of your life, spend a lifetime of love Make him yours forever more So, hold him tight, and never let him go Day and night, let him know you love him so With the love of your life, spend a lifetime of love Make him yours forever more Make him yours for ever more

It's your fault When your pride grows thicker than your skin It's burning up like oxygen As the rhythm of your body's overthrown And you overdo it, everybody knows She's got a glare inside her eyes And she makes everything she touches turn to stone Here's to all the things that you made up in your mind to get you home When you finally reach the place and realize there's nothing there In your heart In your mind Between the walls that you have made Between the thoughts that you've created In your mind In your heart Between the walls that you've made Between the thoughts that you've created You just stare up on the sunlight Fall in love while reaching out The teachers never told you about reasonable doubt When your love has gone to sleep, and it's not coming back tonight And you take your medicine, there's a reason that you hide You go out with some style and somebody else to blame They are counting all your blessings as you write them in a page And you feel empty tonight, and you won't sleep and waking up And there's the same old feeling that you're feeling walls And you're stuck in your own mind In your head Between the walls that you have made Between the thoughts that you've created In your heart In your mind Between the walls that you have made Between the thoughts that you've created There's a dying man, preacher man, cold heart, and a thief again Everything you thought you knew, a part of me and a part of you I'd listen to it through the words, never tell you what it was Before you made it up inside and anything could happen There's an honest man, a simple man, clever man, less a man Left alone to stand amongst the wreckage of your heart Talking sense, tell me, love will save me, once again Tell me, "It's okay, my friend" It's lonely in my heart In my head Between the walls that you have made Between the thoughts that you've created In your heart In your head Between the walls that you have made Between the thoughts that you've created In your head In your heart Between the walls that you have made Between the thoughts that you've created in your head

It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red And he turned his face to the people, these were the very words he said I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long white table, So sweet, cool and so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over Never find a sweeter man as me When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain The gang'll know I died standing pat Let her go, let her go God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this wide world over Never find a sweeter man as me I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers Three pretty women to sing a song Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon Raise hell as I stroll along Let her go Let her go God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide World over She'll never find a sweeter Man as me
