This Old Heart

Pinch me I’m dreaming
The starlight light is gleaming
Off her eyes like neon tonight
And the shape of her smile
For the last little while
Gives me hope that the two of us might
Fall close together
Like the taste of forever
And for a moment give up the fight
I’d be glad for the comfort
But I can’t help but wonder
At our chances of getting it right
This old heart is bound to ramble
Never holding still, never slowing down
And I’d be a fool to take the gamble
Of loving you this time around
What am I thinking
My eyes have been drinking
The glow of the soft summer dawn
As the sun keeps on rising
Each kiss more surprising
Because the night and the stars have all gone
I can stay till tomorrow
Just to put off the sorrow
That would fall with the next setting sun
But my soul’s getting restless
So I guess after breakfast
I’ll be leaving when the dishes are done
This old heart is bound to ramble
Never holding still, never slowing down
And I’d be a fool to take the gamble
Of loving you this time around
