(Intro – organ and soft horns) Mmm… oh, my darlin’… If I could tell you… what my heart feels… (Verse 1) If I could tell you what my heart feels, You’d never have to doubt my name. Every word I try to say, girl, Just seems to fade away in shame. I ain’t no poet, I ain’t no king, But when I hold you, that’s everything. If I could tell you what my heart feels, You’d know I love you just the same. (Chorus) Oh, my words can stumble, My tongue gets weak, But my arms, they speak the truth you seek. If I could tell you what my heart feels, You’d never cry another tear again. (Verse 2) The night gets cold when you’re not near, Your name still rings inside my ear. I built my world ‘round what you do, And every road just leads to you. I ain’t got silver, I ain’t got gold, But I got love that don’t grow old. If I could tell you what my heart feels, You’d know my story, pure and real. (Bridge – gospel lift) And if the Lord should take my voice away, You’d still hear me call your name someday. Through every mile, through every pain, My love would find its way again. (Final Chorus) Oh, my words can stumble, But my heart don’t lie, It beats for you till the day I die. If I could tell you what my heart feels, You’d never cry another tear again. (Outro – organ and muted horns) Mmm… if I could tell you… What my heart feels…
