David Roth – Lend Your Heart to Love | |
On the floor of some motel room down in Florida one spring | |
I fell victim to the charms of Nanci Goldman | |
We'd kissed a lot in high school, that's as far as it had gone | |
And I was sure I'd be a virgin as an old man | |
All too nervous and naively I believe we said goodnight | |
The next thing that I knew she was above me | |
Her eyes were full of fire, somehow mine were full of fear | |
I fell silent when she asked me "Do you love me?" | |
We never did a thing that night, I've often wished we had | |
How often do you get a chance to touch someone like that? | |
I don't mean in clumsy passion or that lonely lover's shove | |
But that moment when you lend your heart to love | |
That summer I was living at the house of my best friend | |
And one day he introduced his girlfriend's cousin | |
To say that I fell hopelessly in awe of Patti Jo | |
Would largely understate the state I was in | |
We were laying round the living room one steamy August night | |
The next thing that I knew I was above her | |
My eyes were full of fire, somehow hers were full of fear | |
Neither one of us had ever had a lover | |
We never did a thing that night, I wonder if we had | |
If a dose of clumsy passion could have really been so bad | |
But she was scared and so was I, and neither sure what of | |
I guess that moment when you lend your heart to love | |
I only mentioned Nanci for the feelings she unlocked | |
And Patti was so pretty, but we never even talked | |
Now both of them are married, no redress and no regrets | |
I was only warming up for what was next | |
In the kitchen of my sister's fifth-floor walk-up in New York | |
I sat staring in the gaze of Mary Fisher | |
Never had I fallen on such gentle, gentile eyes | |
And never such an urge as then to kiss her | |
We were fumbling through the small-talk silence, grasping every straw | |
The next thing that I knew we were embracing | |
I don't know why but somehow I knew this was what I'd missed | |
I could tell just by the way my heart was racing | |
We stayed up talking all night long, that's mostly what we did | |
And when the sun came up we stumbled to the subway like two kids | |
And that's when I began to learn what we'd been talking of | |
About that moment when you lend your heart to love | |
If you're lucky maybe once in life you'll have the chance to find | |
Someone to give your heart to whose reciprocally inclined | |
You'll never know it's coming and you won't know what to say | |
Just drop everything you're doing on that day | |
And don't you ever let that moment slip away |
