"LISTENING WITH MY HEART"
Verse 1
You're suffering in silence again,
And I don't know why, or what I can do.
But I hate to see you in this pain.
I guess the way ahead looks really dark to you.
Well, you know I'm not a doctor or magician,
But I'm telling you my heart is here to listen.
Chorus 1
Open the doors and windows and tell me what you feel. -
Give the light and air a chance to help you heal.
Maybe what you need is just to say the things you need to say.
You know I'll love you anyway.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart, yeah, yeah.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart.
Verse 2
You try so hard to appear strong,
And ignore the questions that are all around.
Puzzling through a maze of rights and wrongs,
Tripping on the roots of feelings you've cut down.
But there's so much to learn and see out here.
Come on out into the light where it's all clear.
Chorus 2
Open the doors and windows and tell me what you feel. -
Give the light and air a chance to help you heal.
Maybe what you need is just to say the things you need to say;
And me, I love you anyway.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart.
Bridge
There's no point in pretending. What good's it ever done anyway?
But you will see things mending if you're honest with yourself in every way.
Chorus 3
Open the doors and windows and tell me what you feel. -
Give the light and air a chance to help you heal.
Maybe what you need is just to say the things you need to say.
You know I'll love you anyway.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart, yeah, yeah.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart, yeah, yeah.
Speak to me, I'm listening with my heart
