This Old Heart

KWAN

(Intro)
It’s been so many years
Since she was here
But I can’t help
Remembering

(intro)
And I still see her face
In everything
The photo frames
The wedding ring

(Chorus)
And now I find
To my surprise
This old heart
Is still alive

KWAN & JOSHUA

The heart goes left
The mind turns right
To move along
Or if you should hold on

KWAN

We’ve spent
So many years
So very close
So very far

A narrow
Street between us
That time
Can’t seem to cross

I’ve
Been a child
Who’s been afraid
To speak out loud

But now
Now it’s time
To say the words I’ve never said

(chorus)
I’ve never said that you
Were my regret
The bravest soul
I’ve ever met

I’ve not apologised
For losing sight
For giving up
Without a fight

I’ve never asked you for
For one more chance
To make things right
For one last dance

ROSE: What are you trying to say?

KWAN

(modulated up)
I cannot give you much
No gold or diamonds
No promises
Of brighter times

And I know all I am
Is an old man
Who swears to love
You all he can

ROSE

(Outro)
30 years ago
I left you here
I walked away

KWAN

But I
Won’t fail again
This time I will
Ask you to stay

ROSE

Kwan
You’re a fool
You only ever
Had to ask

KWAN

I
I’m your fool
Who has your hand at last
