Hang a Lantern on Your Heart ©2016 Robert George BMI

Well, your kindness warmed a winter morning
And your beauty used to love the light
O but since a man you loved betrayed you
You belong to shadows of the night

Though I know he left you blue and lonely
Midnight will reveal, the woman you conceal
If you will only

Hang a lantern on your heart
Guide my spirit in the dark
O lead me across, your bridge of tears and loss
Then you will learn what my love means
Girl, let down your guard,
Hang a lantern on your heart
And I will find your secret dreams

O if you will lift your veil of shadow
I’ll be there to love and cherish you
But if you remain in mist and darkness
Then I know my light will perish, too

There are times I fear the world will lose you
So I sit and pray, that faith will light your way
And you will choose to

Hang a lantern on your heart
Guide my spirit in the dark
O lead me across, your bridge of tears and loss
Then you will learn what my love means
Girl, let down your guard,
Hang a lantern on your heart
Hang a lantern on your heart
And I will find your secret dreams

Some say love is blind and then it’s lonely
O but love will shine if you will only

Hang a lantern on your heart
Guide my spirit in the dark
O lead me across, your bridge of tears and loss
Then you will learn what my love means
Girl, let down your guard,
Hang a lantern on your heart
And I will find your secret dreams

Hang a lantern on your heart
Hang a lantern on your heart
And I will find your secret dreams…
