Liner Notes

This song is one of my all-time favorites. I don't think I've ever "signified" a song here as a Favorite--seeking more Reviews and all ('cuz I used to think that's so Instagrammy/Facebooky). Well, I'm past that and now I want to indicate this as a Personal Favorite...and I'm discovering I don't know how to do that. :-) I'm going to try that "Feature on Profile" button down there and see if that takes care of it. Meanwhile, Like and Share and tell all your friends about this one. ;-) (Gonna be up on Spotify soon, I'm sure!)

I hope you like it half as much as I do! :-)

SLIGHTLY USED HEART

Here's my SLIGHTLY USED HEART,
yours to take for a ride,
Through the streets of love,
let your conscience be your guide,
Because it has been through its share
of love and of loss,
But it will keep on ticking,
no matter what the cost.

CHORUS:
Here's my SLIGHTLY USED HEART,
still beating strong and true,
I'm handing it over,
I'm giving it to you.
So let's take a chance,
and see where we can go,
Together we can mend it,
stitch by stitch, I know.

My heart's been around the block
a time or two,
But I believe it's ready
for something fresh and new.
With every painful heartache,
it has grown more wise,
And now it finally sees the world
through different eyes.

There's a beauty in the scars,
a story to be told,
A heart that has been loved,
and a love that has grown old.
But like a Phoenix rising
from the ashes, it flies,
Here's my SLIGHTLY USED HEART,
take it to the skies.

CHORUS:
Here's my SLIGHTLY USED HEART,
still beating strong and true,
I'm handing it over,
I'm giving it to you.
So let's take a chance,
and see where we can go,
Together we can mend it,
stitch by stitch, I know.

So let's walk hand in hand,
in the glow of the moon,
With my SLIGHTLY USED HEART,
we'll find love anew.
We'll dance under the stars,
let the past fade away,
As we carve a new path,
in this new love we'll create.

CHORUS:
Here's my SLIGHTLY USED HEART,
still beating strong and true,
I'm handing it over,
I'm giving it to you.
So let's take a chance,
and see where we can go,
Together we can mend it,
stitch by stitch, I know.
