I Can’t Give My Heart to You Lyrics by Steven S. Billings

Old Luggage

2014

You're very kind to me
With words that lift my spirits graciously
Your friendly smile has been worthwhile
Because you share it fast and free
I love the way you quiver
When delivering the secrets of your heart
The air is so inviting
It makes sharing all of mine the easy part
Now, I’m the one who's trembling;
I don't want to use the words I have to say
’Cause I don't want to hurt you, heaven knows;
I'd rather take your pain away
I always used to be the one to give my heart before the others do
I see it your eyes that you are wishing
Things could be the same with you
But it's a mystery as much to me, the reason why it should be true
And though I'd really like to, girl, it seems
That I can't give my heart to you
I've heard the words so many times
I nearly choke upon their acid taste
"I like you as a friend, but that is all,"
And I think: "What a waste!"
But now I understand that they were
Telling me the truth, though painfully
Though I refused to see it at the time
It was the best for me
How odd to finally be the one to
Turn away a love that could be mine
And now I see rejection doesn't ever
Really have a winning side
I always used to be the one to give my heart before the others do
I see it your eyes that you are wishing
Things could be the same with you
But it’s a mystery as much to me, the reason why it should be true
And though I’d really like to, girl, it seems
That I can't give my heart to you
Sometimes we need to recognize the
Blessing of an answer we don’t want
But disappointment fades when we
Begin to see God's hand at work for us
I always used to be the one to give my heart before the others do
I see it your eyes that you are wishing
Things could be the same with you
But it's a mystery as much to me, the reason why it should be true
And though I'd really like to, girl, it seems
That I can’t give my heart to you
