If I Could Find The Heart (To Love Again)
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
If I could find the heart to love again
Wouldn't make the same mistakes I did back then
I wouldn't write a day
Or let a moment slip away
To tell her just how much she means to me.
If I could find the one I've waited for
Wouldn't take her love for granted like before
I'd try to recognize
The "want to" in her eyes
And her hopes and dreams I'd hold so carefully
I wouldn't let it fall apart
If I Could find the heart to love again.
If I could find the heart to love again.
I really wouldn't know where to begin
Time is passin' by
Still I'm to afraid to try
If only I could trust like I did then
I would make a brand new start
If I could find the heart to love again.
'Cause what I'm searchin' for
Is that special kind of love
They're just not makin' anymore
That lasts through all the years
The kind of love that lives
Beyond the laughter and the tears.
So I'll just keep on lookin' round the bend
And someday soon I'll reach my journey's end
Together we will grow
With a love we've come to know
And promises we'll keep eternally
I wouldn't let it fall apart
I would make a brand new start
If I could find the heart to love again.
If I could find the heart to love again...
Wouldn't make the same mistakes I did back then
I wouldn't write a day
Or let a moment slip away
To tell her just how much she means to me.
If I could find the one I've waited for
Wouldn't take her love for granted like before
I'd try to recognize
The "want to" in her eyes
And her hopes and dreams I'd hold so carefully
I wouldn't let it fall apart
If I Could find the heart to love again.
If I could find the heart to love again.
I really wouldn't know where to begin
Time is passin' by
Still I'm to afraid to try
If only I could trust like I did then
I would make a brand new start
If I could find the heart to love again.
'Cause what I'm searchin' for
Is that special kind of love
They're just not makin' anymore
That lasts through all the years
The kind of love that lives
Beyond the laughter and the tears.
So I'll just keep on lookin' round the bend
And someday soon I'll reach my journey's end
Together we will grow
With a love we've come to know
And promises we'll keep eternally
I wouldn't let it fall apart
I would make a brand new start
If I could find the heart to love again.
If I could find the heart to love again...
