Let's Call A Heart A Heart
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
My conversation
May not be smart,
But if we're to have a perfect understanding,
Let's call a heart a heart!
There are words that should be whispered gently,
That's evidently
The way to start,
If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Can I prove how I yearn
Just by the turn of a phrase?
Can I keep my control
When all my soul is ablaze?
Maybe you would call a true confession
An indiscretion
On someone's part,
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Maybe you would call a true confession
An indiscretion
On someone's part,
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you,
Let's call a heart a heart!
