Heart of Stone

I'll never forget

The first time we met

On the beach, by the sea-

Just opened my eyes

Voila, a surprise:

You were looking at me

And I wished I owned

A heart of stone

And I knew it was over then

I knew that I was through

You don't have to believe me

But I know it's true

And when you go, and I'm all alone

I'll wish I owned that heart of stone

I was taken aback

I was thrown off my track

By your beauty and joy

The wind blew your hair

I just lay there, and stare

Like a stupid schoolboy

And I wished I owned

A heart of stone...

And I knew it was over then

I knew that I was through

You don't have to believe me

But I know it's true

And when you go, and I'm all alone

I'll wish I owned that heart of stone

Then we'd sit, holding hands

Lay so many plans

Of the places we'd go

But the years quickly passed

And then it came to the last

We never left home

And so now we are old

Both our stories are told

And we wait for the end

And if you're the first to go

I will follow you, know

That my heart will not mend

And I wish I owned

A heart of stone
