Take My Words
So take my words, don’t write them down
but don’t let them fall to the ground
catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart
and from your lips don’t let them depart, oh no
Live as I’ve lived, love as I’ve loved
give all you can give, you can never give enough
an anxious heart, weighs a person down
but a kind word, lifts them off the ground
So take my words, don’t write them down
but don’t let them fall to the ground
catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart
and from your lips don’t let them depart
Above all else, guard your heart
please protect yourself, it’s where life starts
Unfolding these words, brings light
and grants understanding, to the simple mind
Listen carefully, tune your ears
‘cause you won’t have me, in a few more years
So take my words, don’t write them down
but don’t let them fall to the ground
catch them in your mind and hide them in your heart
and from your lips don’t let them depart, oh no
