You Opened up Your Heart

By Bruce Clifford 

There’s a part of the heart that never dies

There’s a will and way to live and fly

Each shadow passes through me as if I were the morning sun

Then I take a second glance at a new day that’s just begun

You opened up your heart

You opened up my soul

You followed my own will

You never let me go

There’s a part of the heart that burns to forever 

There’s a thought and a dream each life should treasure

Every raindrop that falls through the clouds and through the air

Then I take another look and know you are always there

You opened up your heart

You opened up my soul

You came into my life

You never let me go

You opened up my heart

You always came around

You accepted the worst in me

You never let me down

There’s a part of the heart that never dies
