This Heart of Mine
Peter Salett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If everything glittering
Will turn into the gold
I see in your hair
I feel it could be there
Somehow, tonight
And do you want to find
The change would do me right
Cause I've been just waiting
And hesitating
With this heart of mine
You're still a mystery
But there's something so easy
In how you're sweet to me
I feel completed
Like it's something I needed
For this heart of mine
There's always something so tragic
About a hopeless romantic
So though we cannot know
If everything glittering
Will turn into the gold
I'm through with waiting
And hesitating
I want you taking
This heart of mine
Heart of mine
Heart of mine

He admits that his heart feels like something worth saving but he has been waiting and hesitating to make a move. Despite her being a mystery to him, he is awestruck by how sweet she is to him and how he feels complete around her.
Line by Line Meaning
Do you want to know
Do you wish to ascertain
If everything glittering
If all that shines
Will turn into the gold
Will transform into something precious
I see in your hair
That I see in your locks
I feel it could be there
I sense that it's possible
Somehow, tonight
In some way, this very evening
And do you want to find
And do you seek to discover
Something worth saving
A valuable thing to keep
The change would do me right
This variation would benefit me
Cause I've been just waiting
As I have been simply anticipating
And hesitating
And holding back
With this heart of mine
Using my very own heart
You're still a mystery
You remain an enigma
But there's something so easy
Yet it feels so effortless
In how you're sweet to me
In the way that you're kind to me
I feel completed
I feel whole and fulfilled
Like it's something I needed
As if it is something that I required
For this heart of mine
For my very own heart
There's always something so tragic
There's frequently something sad
About a hopeless romantic
Regarding a person without any hope who is sentimental
So though we cannot know
So even though we're unaware
If everything glittering
If everything that shines
Will turn into the gold
Will be transformed into something precious
I'm through with waiting
I am done with anticipating
And hesitating
And holding back
I want you taking
I desire you to take
This heart of mine
My very own heart
Heart of mine
My heart

I think those of us who love this song are hopeless romantics. It's ironic that i bet some of us girls (me) and some of you guys would be perfect for each other........good luck in love

I'd recommend two other songs as a hopeless Romantic. Ride by Cary Brothers and Simple Song by the Shins.

This was my wife's and my wedding song in 2004. We loved it, of course - that's why we picked it. And people at the wedding (most of whom had never heard it before) loved it too.
@PMandrekar
Love the song. I would have played this at our wedding, if we hadn't gotten married a couple of years before we saw this movie and heard the song!
@catiscray4133
Are you still married? I want to know if the song was good luck.
@PMandrekar
@@catiscray4133 We are. May is 24 years married and October is 29 years together.
