HERE IN MY HEART:

Did the sun come up this morning?

Did the moon shine late last night?

Whenever I can’t see you girl

I’m like a man without his sight

My arms may never hold you

Our lips may never touch

But when you look into my eyes

I know that we’ve made love

But I can never hold you

The way that I want to

So I must be content to live

This life that we must choose

 [CHORUS]

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do

But a love that’s built on sacrifice is true

And I must learn to love you from afar

When I can’t hold you in my arms

I’ll hold you here in my heart

I would lay my life down for you

Give my final breath away

For just one kiss upon your lips

I’d make this my last day

And I would trade eternity

For one moment in your arms

Cause heaven would mean nothing

Without your love to keep me warm

Though I can never hold you

The way that I want to

So I must be content to live

This life that we must choose

 [CHORUS]

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do

But I will always love you girl, with a love that’s true

And even though this world deeps us apart

When I can’t hold you in my arms

I’ll hold you here in my heart

Here in my heart

Here in my heart

Here in my heart
