Marc Almond - Heart In Velvet lyrics

rate me

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
