A Good Heart Lyrics - Maria Mckee

I hear a lot of stories, I suppose they could be true 

All about love and what it can do to you 

High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt 

And still I have so much to learn 

I know, 'cause I think about it all the time 

I know that real love is quite a price 

CHORUS: 

And a good heart these days is hard to find 

A good heart - True love, the lasting kind 

A good heart these days is hard to find 

So please be gentle with this heart of mine 

My expectations may be high, I blame that on my youth 

Soon enough I'll learn the painful truth 

I'll face it like a fighter then boast of how I've grown 

Anything is better than being alone 

I know 'cause I learn a little everyday 

I know 'cause I listen when the experts say 

CHORUS 

As I reflect on all my childhood dreams 

My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed 

If I don't start looking now, I'll be left behind 

And a good heart these days is hard to find 

I know it's a dream I'm willing to defend 

I know it will all be worth it in the end 

CHORUS x 2 

With this heart of mine
