open heart

i am in surgery
this is an open heart
it needs new valves
they've all been worn out
beating far too hard

and how much joy this heart
has seen -i'll write a million songs
but they would never match
the sweetness of you
don't stop doing what you do
the sweetness of you
like sticky toffee pudding

i am now in xray
this is an open heart
i have been stitched together
been given a new lease of life

and how much joy this heart will feel
now only tomorrow will know
i'll sing a million songs
but they will never match
the sweetness of you
keep doing all the little things you do
the sweetness of you
like cookies cake and candy

i am now ok
my open heart is mended
stronger loved and tended
life blood flowing through

and now i can return the joy to you
