I only want to borrow your heart
A place to shelter me from the cold
I promise I'll take care of it
With gentlest hands I'll hold...

I would never break it
Or toss it aside
If you'd loan it for a while
My gratitude I could not hide.

My sweet handsome stranger
You've woo'd me with words
I've come to feel so much for you
But my feelings go unheard...

For you belong to another
A promise you must keep
And as much as I want not to
I hide these feelings of which I speak.

Your face I have never seen
But you're beautiful to me
I long for stolen moments
And dream of things that'll never be.

So let me borrow your heart
Just to warm myself in its glow
I promise to take good care of it
And return it before I go.
