Heart like A Dove
by Howard A. Landman
- The first time I met you, it was your kindness that drew me in.
Your gentle attention made me feel like a special friend.
But now you drag home late at night with no kind words to say
go in your room and close the door. I can't go on this way
- one more day
- You're just like a Boy Scout: you help old ladies across the street
shake hands with strangers and smile at everyone you meet.
But lately when you look my way, there's sadness in your eyes
And when you turn your back in bed, it comes as no surprise
- no surprise.
- Chorus:
- I know a Heart Like A Dove is beating inside your chest
but you don't give me your love, I never get your best
I don't know where we both went wrong, but I just can't go on
without the love from your Heart Like A Dove
- Bridge:
- I don't know what makes you feel loved
I don't know what makes you feel free
I don't know what it is you want
I only know, it isn't me
- There was a spider in the bathroom, I was gonna kill it, but you said "Wait"
and ran off to the kitchen for a drinking glass and a plate
and you coaxed that spider into that glass, took it outside and set it free
so darlin' I don't understand why you won't do the same for me
- for me
- repeat chorus
