Lyrics

Where your love is, put your heart, guard these moments well
Where your dreams are, put your hopes, you know they will not fail you
When the sun rises in the morning, you will wake up and find her yawning
When the wind blows strong and cold, she'll be with you until you grow old
Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do
If your dreams came true?

I would build a lovely house with satin green shutters, it would be lovely
The most lovely house in the world..
And I would sing a lovely song with you in my mind, and you in my eyes
The most lovely song in the world..
I would write it down on the wall, just for you, just for you;
And I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days

When you're sad and feeling low, you're on your own with nowhere to go
Make believe that she is gone, play your guitar and write a song for her
Write down the words about how you cried when you woke up weeping
'Cos you thought that she had died, and you heard her breathing
Through your pain and you held her close and cried all over again;
Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do
If your dreams came true?

And inside my lovely house with satin green shutters, there would
Be children
The most lovely children in the world..
And even when skies are grey, we would be happy, for we have love
The most lovely love in the world;
I would write it down on the wind, just for you, just for you;
And I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days
