Our Heart

Paul Hicks 1964 (Chicago)

My Heart

God picked you out from all the rest because he knew I LV you best

I had a heart and it was true but now it is gone from me to you.

So take care of it as I have done for you have two and
I have none

and if I go to heaven and your not there  I'll wait for you on the golden stairs

and if you're not there on judgment day I'll know you went the other way

So ill give the angels back their wings their gold crown and other things

just to prove my LV is true

I'll go to hell just to be with you
