Wall Around Your Heart (D.Reno/R.Smiley/B.Smith)


Stone must be the wall built around your heart
I still love you darlin', but the time has come to part
No more sorrow, no more pain, can enter this heart of mine
Life isn't long in this old world let the past stay behind
I once had a darling Sweetheart and I loved her so
I love her more than I never make my poor heart show
And she ran away and left me she would find somebody else
Left me here in this old world to cry all to myself
Stone must be the wall built around your heart
I still love you darlin', but the time has come to part
No more sorrow, no more pain, can enter this heart of mine
Life isn't long in this old world let the past stay behind

I know somewhere in this old world there is a girl for me
She don't long for wealth and fame just love and sympathy
I don't know where she lives maybe across the sea
But the walls of Jericho can't keep her away from me
Stone must be the wall built around your heart
I still love you darlin', but the time has come to part
No more sorrow, no more pain, can enter this heart of mine
Life isn't long in this old world let the past stay behind
Life isn't long in this old world let the past stay behind
