State of the Heart Lyrics by Maureen McGovern

State of the Heart Lyrics

    I tell myself I'm not looking for love
    I tell myself it's the last thing I'm thinking of
    I've got no expectations
    And I mean just what I say
    Then I look into his eyes
    Damned if I don't lose my head
    And I wonder how I thought
    Those things I said

    It's the state of the heart,
    State of the heart
    Ready to risk it all,
    Willing to fall
    There are ways to keep it safe,
    Ways to play it smart
    But I've never learned the art
    It's just the state of the heart
    State of the heart

    I ought to know time never stands still
    I ought to know but I always believe it will
    I've had those perfect moments
    Turn to days of silent pain
    But I hate to turn away
    If there's a chance, he's the one
    I admit that I'm no good
    At sleep and run

    That's the state of the heart,
    State of the heart
    Ready to risk it all,
    Willing to fall
    There are ways to keep it safe,
    Ways to play it smart
    But I've never learned the art
    That's just the state of the heart
    State of the heart

    INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

    But I hate to turn away
    If there's a chance, he's the one
    I admit that I'm no good
    At sleep and run

    That's the state of the heart,
    The state of the heart
    Ready to risk it all,
    Willing to fall
    There are ways to keep it safe
    There are ways to play it smart
    But I've never learned the art
    That's just the state of the heart
    State of the heart

    State of the heart
    State of the heart
    State of the heart

    State of the heart
    (repeat and fade out)
