Heart in velvet
Heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Put it in your pocket
Take it out each evening
Kiss it and love it
Wrap my heart in velvet
Save it for tomorrow
When you're feeling sad
Let it help you through your sorrow
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it safe from danger
Let it be your friend
When you feel like a stranger
And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day
Wrap my heart in velvet
Seal my soul in silk
Cover my kisses in satin
Put them in a box for a rainy day
Wrap my heart in velvet
Let it be your treasure
Let it give you the warmth
That only love can measure
Wrap my heart in velvet
Let it be a token
For the many times
Your poor heart was broken
Wrap my heart in velvet
Till its fully grown
There may be a moment
That you lose your own
And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it in the cool and shade
Let it hold the tears
For the mistakes you made
Wrap my heart in velvet
For no more I'll need it
Keep it like a child
Nurture and feed it
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it near you when your sleeping
Let it be the vessel
For the love you're keeping
And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day
And don't hurt my heart
Please don't hurt my heart
Then you'll never see my cry
You'll never see me die
Wrap my heart in velvet(Difford/Tilbrook)
She wants to give up love for good
She kicks the fence and splits the wood,
She cries her eyes out in the rain
She swears aloud and so again,
She feels messed around.
She takes her coat off as it pours
The passing daytime she ignores,
Sits with a problem on a bench
And with her heel she digs a trench,
She feels messed around.
She rips her skirt and tears her dress
Climbing over his garden fence,
Mud on her mourning as tears still fall
She's in no mood for his love at all,
She feels messed around
Her door won't shut, her match won't light,
The bulb went out, her skirts too tight,
She feels messed around.
The words don't match, her heart won't heal,
The phone won't pip, her fruit won't peel,
She feels messed around.
She left herself open for him all the time
But always kept off of his cloud,
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Have come to mess her around.
