Heart of Stone

I'll never forget
The first time we met
On the beach, by the sea-
Just opened my eyes
Voila, a surprise:
You were looking at me
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone

And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone

I was taken aback
I was thrown off my track
By your beauty and joy
The wind blew your hair
I just lay there, and stare
Like a stupid schoolboy
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone...

And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone

Then we'd sit, holding hands
Lay so many plans
Of the places we'd go
But the years quickly passed
And then it came to the last
We never left home

And so now we are old
Both our stories are told
And we wait for the end
And if you're the first to go
I will follow you, know
That my heart will not mend
And I wish I owned
A heart of stone
