Heart of Gold

I'm frightened, yes, I'm afraid; threefold
That one day I'll break your heart of gold.
The gem that I cherish, one to be sought
May one day fall from my hands.

Clumsy is me, woe was habit
Why would I have to go and crack it?
Stable the pieces, fill in the scars
Before the girl is gone.

Hold it steady, don't move an inch
I think it's fixed, firm, bit by bit.
A sigh of relief, and onto a stroll
The oaf had dropped it again.

Now we wait, dear maiden in slumber
Holding her hand with her pieces asunder.
Regret, oh regret, you come round at a time
Why did I have to trip up?

Cries and sobs, no shortage at all
Come from a man who stands six feet tall.
"No need to cry and no need to plea"
Said she
To me
For me, she said
"You'll always be in this heart."
