《Lend Your Heart to Love》歌词

[00:00:00] David roth lend your heart to love

[00:00:02] On the floor of some motel room down in florida one spring

[00:00:05] I fell victim to the charms of nanci goldman

[00:00:10] We'd kissed a lot in high school

[00:00:12] That's as far as it had gone

[00:00:14] And I was sure I'd be a virgin as an old man

[00:00:20] All too nervous and naively I believe we said goodnight

[00:00:24] The next thing that I knew she was above me

[00:00:29] Her eyes were full of fire

[00:00:30] Somehow mine were full of fear

[00:00:33] I fell silent when she asked me do you love me

[00:00:40] We never did a thing that night

[00:00:42] I've often wished we had

[00:00:45] How often do you get a chance to touch someone like that

[00:00:49] I don't mean in clumsy passion or that lonely lover's shove

[00:00:56] But that moment when you lend your heart to love

[00:01:08] That summer I was living at the house of my best friend

[00:01:12] And one day he introduced his girlfriend's cousin

[00:01:17] To say that I fell hopelessly in awe of patti jo

[00:01:21] Would largely understate the state I was in

[00:01:26] We were laying round the living room one steamy August night

[00:01:30] The next thing that I knew I was above her

[00:01:35] My eyes were full of fire

[00:01:37] Somehow hers were full of fear

[00:01:40] Neither one of us had ever had a lover

[00:01:46] We never did a thing that night

[00:01:48] I wonder if we had

[00:01:51] If a dose of clumsy passion could have really been so bad

[00:01:56] But she was scared and so was I

[00:01:59] And neither sure what of

[00:02:02] I guess that moment when you lend your heart to love

[00:02:10] I only mentioned nanci for the feelings she unlocked

[00:02:15] And patti was so pretty

[00:02:17] But we never even talked

[00:02:21] Now both of them are married

[00:02:23] No redress and no regrets

[00:02:27] I was only warming up for what was next

[00:02:38] In the kitchen of my sister's fifth floor walk up in new york

[00:02:42] I sat staring in the gaze of mary fisher

[00:02:48] Never had I fallen on such gentle

[00:02:51] Gentile eyes

[00:02:53] And never such an urge as then to kiss her

[00:02:57] We were fumbling through the small talk silence

[00:03:00] Grasping every straw

[00:03:02] The next thing that I knew we were embracing

[00:03:07] I don't know why but somehow I knew this was what I'd missed

[00:03:12] I could tell just by the way my heart was racing

[00:03:19] We stayed up talking all night long

[00:03:21] That's mostly what we did

[00:03:24] And when the sun came up we stumbled to the subway like two kids

[00:03:30] And that's when I began to learn what we'd been talking of

[00:03:35] About that moment when you lend your heart to love

[00:03:44] If you're lucky maybe once in life you'll have the chance to find

[00:03:49] Someone to give your heart to whose reciprocally inclined

[00:03:55] You'll never know it's coming and you won't know what to say

[00:04:01] Just drop everything you're doing on that day

[00:04:11] And don't you ever let that moment slip away
