Don't Tell My Heart
Oh, don’t tell my heart she is aging
Don’t let her know that she’s grown
She’s still loving, laughing, engaging
Don’t let on that you know
She still dances in moonlight
She still breaths to see you
She’s still singing in free flight
Her childish love is still true
She still flutters at your smile
And you’re all she can think to say
She is still reckless and wild
With her love that she gives away
Oh, don’t tell my heart she is aging
Don’t let on that you know
For like new her love’s still engaging
Because Love’s the last holdout to go
You could tell her but she won’t believe
You’d be foolish to even try
She would laugh that you’d even conceive
That her love’s not still young and alive!
She sees only future together
And she is alight with your love
To her, it’s day one of forever
And the days will never be enough
She still giggles whenever you enter
And blushes at the way you look
That she’s your world’s very center
And you read her like an open book
Oh, don’t tell my heart she is aging
Don’t let her know that she’s grown
She’s still loving, laughing, engaging
Don’t let on that you know.
