Heart Of A Woman
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She is all I ever could've wanted her to be
She always knew just how to give the best of love to me
I thought I knew a thing or two about the ways of love
But it was soon to become so clear I didn't know enough
One day I found a note beside the ring she'd left behind
She said that here is all you need to know for better love next time

[Chorus]
Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like the rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

A bridge was burned and a lesson learned I never will forget
And for her timeless wisdom I'm forever in her debt
Last night I heard a good friend say he finally found the one
I told him to be sure these precious things weren't left undone

[Chorus: x3]

In the heart of a woman




In the heart of a woman
In the heart of a woman

From the beginning, the singer acknowledges the greatness of the woman in his life, noting that she surpasses his expectations. She has mastered the art of loving him, and he is taken aback by her skill.

Despite learning this lesson, he sees it as a valuable experience that has taught him to cherish love and what it takes to make a relationship last.

She was all that I ever could have wanted her to be
She always knew just how to give the best of love to me
I thought I knew a thing or two about the ways of love

Ella es todo lo que alguna vez podría desear que fuera
Ella siempre sabía cómo darme lo mejor del amor
Pensé que sabía una o dos cosas acerca de los caminos del amor
Pero pronto iba a resultar tan claro que no sabía lo suficiente
Un día encontré una nota al lado del anillo que había dejado atrás
Decía que aquí está todo lo que necesitas saber para un mejor amor la próxima vez

Di que tu amor es fuerte y verdadero
Hazle saber todo lo que ella significaba para ti
Muéstrale que ella es esa persona especial
Que brilla en tus ojos como la salida del sol
Da al amor menos espacio para crecer
Trátala con la ternura que tú sabes
El secreto de los tesoros del cielo
En el corazón de una mujer

Un puente fue incendiado y una lección aprendida que nunca olvidaré
Y por su eterna sabiduría estoy siempre en deuda con ella
Anoche escuché a un buen amigo que finalmente encontró uno
Le dije que estuviera seguro de estas cosas preciosas no se dejaban de hacer

Di que tu amor es fuerte y verdadero
Hazle saber todo lo que ella significaba para ti
Muéstrale que ella es esa persona especial
Que brilla en tus ojos como la salida del sol
Da al amor menos espacio para crecer
Trátala con la ternura que tú sabes
El secreto de los tesoros del cielo
En el corazón de una mujer

Di que tu amor es fuerte y verdadero
Hazle saber todo lo que ella significaba para ti
Muéstrale que ella es esa persona especial
Que brilla en tus ojos como la salida del sol
Da al amor menos espacio para crecer
Trátala con la ternura que tú sabes
El secreto de los tesoros del cielo
En el corazón de una mujer

En el corazón de una mujer
En el corazón de una mujer
En el corazón de una mujer

Man this song hits the nail on the head. "say you love her, strong and true, let her know what she means to you"...

@silverpilot1979

Much like the mullet, the song and voice, plus the beautifully melodic guitar playing, are all simply EPIC! This song brought tears to my yes when I heard it the first time (I was 14), and even now, I get the same tears 18 years later. That's the mark of a great tune.

@katyannbowers3700

I'm a songwriter and these lyrics are amazing ❤️

@zacharysmithandguitars355

I am a lead guitar player I am not in a band I love the guitar riffs in this song
