David roth lend your heart to love[00:00:00]
On the floor of some motel room down in florida one spring[00:00:02]
I fell victim to the charms of nanci goldman[00:00:05]
We'd kissed a lot in high school[00:00:10]
That's as far as it had gone[00:00:12]
And I was sure I'd be a virgin as an old man[00:00:14]
All too nervous and naively I believe we said goodnight[00:00:20]
The next thing that I knew she was above me[00:00:24]
Her eyes were full of fire[00:00:29]
Somehow mine were full of fear[00:00:30]
I fell silent when she asked me do you love me[00:00:33]
We never did a thing that night[00:00:40]
I've often wished we had[00:00:42]
How often do you get a chance to touch someone like that[00:00:45]
I don't mean in clumsy passion or that lonely lover's shove[00:00:49]
But that moment when you lend your heart to love[00:00:56]
That summer I was living at the house of my best friend[00:01:08]
And one day he introduced his girlfriend's cousin[00:01:12]
To say that I fell hopelessly in awe of patti jo[00:01:17]
Would largely understate the state I was in[00:01:21]
We were laying round the living room one steamy August night[00:01:26]
The next thing that I knew I was above her[00:01:30]
My eyes were full of fire[00:01:35]
Somehow hers were full of fear[00:01:37]
Neither one of us had ever had a lover[00:01:40]
We never did a thing that night[00:01:46]
I wonder if we had[00:01:48]
If a dose of clumsy passion could have really been so bad[00:01:51]
But she was scared and so was I[00:01:56]
And neither sure what of[00:01:59]
I guess that moment when you lend your heart to love[00:02:02]
I only mentioned nanci for the feelings she unlocked[00:02:10]
And patti was so pretty[00:02:15]
But we never even talked[00:02:17]
Now both of them are married[00:02:21]
No redress and no regrets[00:02:23]
I was only warming up for what was next[00:02:27]
In the kitchen of my sister's fifth floor walk up in new york[00:02:38]
I sat staring in the gaze of mary fisher[00:02:42]
Never had I fallen on such gentle[00:02:48]
Gentile eyes[00:02:51]
And never such an urge as then to kiss her[00:02:53]
We were fumbling through the small talk silence[00:02:57]
Grasping every straw[00:03:00]
The next thing that I knew we were embracing[00:03:02]
I don't know why but somehow I knew this was what I'd missed[00:03:07]
I could tell just by the way my heart was racing[00:03:12]
We stayed up talking all night long[00:03:19]
That's mostly what we did[00:03:21]
And when the sun came up we stumbled to the subway like two kids[00:03:24]
And that's when I began to learn what we'd been talking of[00:03:30]
About that moment when you lend your heart to love[00:03:35]
If you're lucky maybe once in life you'll have the chance to find[00:03:44]
Someone to give your heart to whose reciprocally inclined[00:03:49]
You'll never know it's coming and you won't know what to say[00:03:55]
Just drop everything you're doing on that day[00:04:01]
And don't you ever let that moment slip away[00:04:11]
