Ordinary Heart

Ordinary HeartBy Emmylou Harris An ordinary heart comes in a plain brown wrapper, believing in hopes and dreams and happy ever after. Someone to love is all that really matters to a heart, an ordinary heart. An ordinary heart comes with a door that never closes. Though it's gathering more than its share of thorns among the roses, It will tell you that's just the price that life imposes on a heart, an ordinary heart. An ordinary heart may not be the jewel in the crownBut it's the only thing you can count on when the chips are down.An ordinary heart is just a diamond in the rough. A diamond after all is made of ordinary stuff.After all this time you it would know betterStill reading between the lines of old love letters,But nothing lost when it becomes a treasure,Of the heart, an ordinary heart An ordinary heart comes in a plain brown wrapper, believing in hopes and dreams and happy ever after. Someone to love is all that really matters... to a heart,This ordinary heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________I was thinking about this song today.  The love we give from our "Ordinary Hearts" makes all the difference in someone's life. Without it one can be strong and just love themselves to pieces, but after a while it grows old and you find that you would give anything to love someone with all your heart and be loved and cherished in return. It's not always our choice, but I still believe in love.
