Opening Chords: D, G, A, C, G
I met my lady years ago, could we have been naďve?D, C
I held her hand, the moon was full, we didn’t want to leaveAm, G, D
I offered her my promises, at this she shed a tear
She pulled me close, and whispered soft, these words into my ear

She said: Please, would you hold my heart… don’t put it downD, G
Keep it safe, keep it warm… don’t show it around A, C, G
Care for it as you would your own… consider it dearD, G
The better you take care of it, the less I’ll have to fear.A, C, D

We started to reveal ourselves, we struggled side by side
Reading painful pages from our books thrown open wide
But nothing could prevent our love… God knows we tried
But even now, from time to time, she’ll say this when she cries

She’ll say: Please, would you hold my heart… don’t put it down
Keep it safe, keep it warm… don’t show it around
Care for it as you would your own… consider it dear
The better you take care of it, the less I’ll have to fear.

Now the clocks have turned to calendars, and the calendars to lives
We now share a long history, our special friendship thrives
The other day I said to her, remembering our start
I asked you then to hold your hand, now may I hold your heart

She said: Please, would you hold my heart… don’t put it down
Keep it safe, keep it warm… don’t show it around
Care for it as you would your own… consider it dear
The better you take care of it, the less I’ll have to fear.
