Ethel Waters
Give Me a Heart To Sing To
There's something inside of my heart that cries
It cries for it wants to live
A song of devotion
A song that speaks of love
It's hard to believe that you can surmise
The treasure I have to give
Is love out of fashion?
The thing that I'm dreaming of

Give me a heart to sing to
Or my song you'll never hear
For I must have a heart to sing to
Or my song wouldn't be sincere

Give me your love to guide me
Let us find a world apart
And as long as you're there beside me
There'll be melody in my heart

I'm in your hands to take and hold me
To make or mold me, if you but knew
In you I find my consolation
My destination depends on you

Love must have love to cling to
As a leaf clings to a tree
So I must have a heart to sing to
And a heart that will sing to me
[Instrumental Break]

Love must have love to cling to
As a leaf clings to a tree
So I must have a heart to sing to
And a heart that will sing to me
