MY HEART HAS TWENTY ROOMS
c 2009 Rosemary Loar

A room for eating mangoes A room for kissing hands and toes
Two for tender tangos
A room for disappointments A room to flirt with fame
One for calling out your name

    Some rooms are painted dark
    Some rooms are fun
    Some rooms are fragile
    Sometimes I hesitate to let you in
    And then I feel your love

        My heart has twenty rooms
        And you're in every one.
        With love as rare and steady
        As the midnight sun
        MY heart has twenty rooms
        And you're in every, every one

A room for quiet shelter A room for arms to melt
A room where heart to heart is felt
A room for finding wonder A room to curse and cry
One to hear the thunder of a sigh

    Some rooms are painted dark
    Some rooms are fun
    Some rooms are fragile
    Sometimes I hesitate to let you in
    And then I feel your love

        My heart has twenty rooms
        And you're in every one.
        With love as rare and steady
        As the midnight sun
        MY heart has twenty rooms
        And you're in every, every one

    One day you came to me
    An angel in the dark
    You brought love without strings
    And opened up my heart
    Opened up my heart
    Opened up

        Chorus
