Let Me Into Your Heart [Mary Chapin Carpenter]


Written by Mary Chapin Carpenter

You're like a cool breeze to a hot spell.
You're like a long drink to a dry well.
Oh, I know by now there's no use thinking,
That it's something in that water I've been drinking.
'Cos I would not need even one more drop,
If you'd just let me into your heart.

You're like a blue sky to a grey day.
You're like a new try to an old way.
Oh, I never needed much convincing,
'Bout that something in my life that's been missing.
But I think I know where to find that part,
If you'd just let me into your heart.

I got a past baby, now who doesn't?
I won't ask you to think that I wasn't,
Who I was back then, yes it's true.
But that was when I, I didn't know you.

You're like a sweet sight to these tired eyes.
You're like the first light after a long night.
Oh, I never believed in the hands of fate,
But to be with you baby, I believe I'd wait,
'Til the end of time for a chance to start.
If you'd just let me into your heart.

You're like a sweet smile to these tired eyes.
You're like the last mile on a long ride.
Oh, I never believed in the arms of fate,
But to be in yours darling, I believe I'd wait,
'Til the end of time for a chance to start.
If you'd just let me into your heart

'Til the end of time, baby I can start,
If you'd just let me into your heart.
