Half a Heart
Half A Heart
For many years, I have lived
inside my shell with half a heart...
the other part inside you rests.
No matter what you do or where you are,
my other half will complete you.
My half a heart is with you dear,
in your dreams when day is done;
through all your sun or rain filled days,
each dark or starry moonlit night.
And when you work and when you play
my half a heart is helping you.
It keeps you warm in cold of day.
It keeps you strong in dark of night.
My half a heart beats very hard,
because a part of you I am
and always there to help you through.
But don't you worry, cause you see
I really have a full heart too.
Since half of yours is inside me
my heart is whole, complete with you.
