You Show Me Your Heart and I'll Show You Mine

(Tom T. Hall)



You show me your heart and I'll show you mine.



I'm not gettin' hurt anymore

That's a promise I made me for sometime ago

I've never ran into things hard and unbending

When I was just traveling slow.



If it's down to this and I'm taking my chances

I've just got one offer in mind

Let's see a teardrop whatever else you got

You show me your heart and I'll show you mine

You show me your heart and I'll show you mine.



I'm weak and I'm uncertain in fact I'm still hurtin'

And hurt put on hurt just won't heal

So make me a promise you'll laugh when I laugh

And you'll cry when I cry it's a deal.



I'm strong and I'm able but weak and unstable

When somebody steps on my mind

You have to be willin' the free milk I'm spillin'

You show me your heart and I'll show you mine

You show me your heart and I'll show you mine.



There was a time I'd be willin' to risk

Just the day of my life on the nights

But if you've been away say at four in the morning

The memories crawlin' by your side.



If you want to take it or if you can

Just make it a one sided offer that's fine

I just got one proposition to make you

You show me your heart and I'll show you mine

You show me your heart and I'll show you mine...
