"Heart In Velvet" lyrics

"Heart In Velvet"

Heart in velvet
Heart in velvet

Wrap my heart in velvet
Put it in your pocket
Take it out each evening
Kiss it and love it
Wrap my heart in velvet
Save it for tomorrow
When you're feeling sad
Let it help you through your sorrow
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it safe from danger
Let it be your friend
When you feel like a stranger

And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day

Wrap my heart in velvet
Seal my soul in silk
Cover my kisses in satin
Put them in a box for a rainy day

Wrap my heart in velvet
Let it be your treasure
Let it give you the warmth
That only love can measure

Wrap my heart in velvet
Let it be a token
For the many times
Your poor heart was broken
Wrap my heart in velvet
Till its fully grown
There may be a moment
That you lose your own

And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day

Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it in the cool and shade
Let it hold the tears
For the mistakes you made
Wrap my heart in velvet
For no more I'll need it
Keep it like a child
Nurture and feed it
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it near you when your sleeping
Let it be the vessel
For the love you're keeping

And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day

And don't hurt my heart
Please don't hurt my heart
Then you'll never see my cry
You'll never see me die

Wrap my heart in velvet
