Heaven Help My Heart Lyrics

Anne Sofie Von Otter Heaven Help My Heart

If it were love I would give that love every second I had
And I do
Did I know where he'd lead me to?
Did I plan doing all of this for the love of a man?

Well, I let it happen anyhow
And what I'm feeling now
Has no easy explanation
Reason plays no part
Heaven help my heart

I love him too much
What if he saw my whole existence
Turning around a word, a smile, a touch?

One of these days, and it won't be long
He'll know more about me than he should
All my dreams will be understood, no surprise
Nothing more to learn from the look in my eyes

Don't you know that time is not my friend
I'll fight it to the end
Hoping to keep that best of moments
When the passion starts
Heaven help my heart

The day that I find
Suddenly I've fun out of secrets
Suddenly I'm not always on his mind

Maybe it's best to love a stranger
Well, that's what I've done
Heaven help my heart
