Lyrics
You say you’re finished with love
That you’ll never love again as long as you live
But believe me, you’ll love me again
If for once you find it in your heart to forgive
Take my Heart
I can undo all the wrong, let’s start
Just a little bit of love goes far
You’ll begin to live again
Take my heart, come on back where you belong
Let’s start, you can do it, if you take my heart
You’ll begin to live again
Now that you’ve seen the bad side
There’s a chance that you won’t find the heart to forgive
But believe me, there’s always the good side
In a world just made for us where lovers can live
Take my heart, I can undo all the wrong, let’s start
Just a little bit of love, goes far, you’ll begin to live again
Take my heart, come on back where you belong, let’s start
You can do it if you take my heart, you’ll begin to live again
