dear heart, don't be shy

dear heart, i'll find you by and by

i'll park outside your door

dear heart beat for me

dear heart beneath the shaded tree

who could ask for more


daybreak i'm headed south

big words from a braggart's mouth

don't bother trying to find me

i'll be back around here someday


dear heart, don't break for me

i'm gonna need you soon, you'll see

like it was before


hailstorms and matadors

i look down, my shoes are worn

try to apologize

but words won't come, they hide in my eyes


dear heart, we'll meet again

in some cafe along the seine

just like it was before


daybreak i'm headed south

with trumpets and drums, no doubt

rag tagged circus clowns

will trail behind with upside down frowns


dear heart, don't break for me

i'm gonna need you soon you'll see

like it was before
