My heart is filled with fear again
Fear that you’ll rip it apart
So fragile in your rough hands
Do not drop it
Do not slip it through your fingers

I fear you’ll take my love away
And sell it for a pearl

My heart is pounding
Do not drop it
Hold it gently
Take care of it there is no other to replace
This heart of gold
