If I Gave You My Heart Lyrics

If I gave you my heart

Where would you be

Would it mean nothing

If not for me

If I gave you my eyes

What would they see

Would they see nothing

If not for me

But I gave you my hand and my sign and my soul on the earth

And I gave up on truth when I heard about the words

I lived out of love when I gave it away

And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay

If I gave you my hand

What would it write

Would it say nothing

Or say it's alright

If I gave you my arms

Would they hold you tight

First blood (?) in morning 

Or bid you goodnight

And I gave you my strength and my worth and I gave you my gift

And I moved on the first and I left us to drift

And I reap from the soil and I build hopes from wood

It's a new better life and we have to ensure

And I gave you my dream of the world and you stole the key

You sang to the wind in the whole ??? sea

And I feel my weight and I guard my soul

And I found my beliefs when I found my control

I gave you my hand and my soul on the earth

And I gave up on the truth when I heard about the words

So I lived out of love when I gave it away

And I sold off my soul when there's no one to pay


Another Version 

---------------------------------------------------------

If I gave you my heart where would you be,

Would it mean nothing if not for me?

If I gave you my eyes what would they see,

Would they see nothing if not for me?

But I gave you my hand and my sign,

And my soul on the earth,

And I gave up on truth,

When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love

When I gave it away

And I sold off my soul

When there was no-one to pay

If I gave you my hand what would it write

Would it say nothing or say it's alright

If I gave you my arms would they hold you tight

First light of morning or bid you goodnight

And I gave you my strength and my worth

And I gave you my gift

And I moved on the first

And I left us to drift

And I'll reap from the soil

And I'll build home from wood

It's a new better life

And we have 2 and should

And I gave you my dream of the world

And we stood on the quay

And we sang to the wind

And the whole darkening sea

And I feel my weight

And I guard my soul

And I found my beliefs

When I found my control

I gave you my hand 

And my soul on the earth

And I gave up on truth

When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love

When I gave it away

And I sold off my soul

When there was no-one to pay
