Always In My Heart
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With a song in my heart, I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start but it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells, I'm touching your hand
It tells me you're standing near, and

At the sound of your voice, heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice that a song such as ours came to be
But I always knew I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you





But I always knew I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you
