Everything About the Heart

Daddy, won't you tell me
Everything about the heart?
Where it stops and where it starts
And where to let it go
Won't you tell me
So that I will know?

For it has loved a girl
And it has loved a boy
It has been set fire
And it has been destroyed
But still I hear it beating
Like that song you used to sing me all the time

I just want to know
If love is real

Is it high or is it low?
Is it fast or is it slow?
Or is it never-ending
Forever spinning like a wheel?

So, daddy, won't you tell me
Everything about the heart?
Where it stops and where it starts
And where to let it go
Won't you tell me
So that I will know?
