Story Behind The Song

Now this may sound sad but I prefer to think of it as poignant. When my son was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart), his condition was very critical. In fact, he was living minute-to-minute, even with the help of heart pumps until he could get strong enough for a heart transplant. Sitting with him in his room in intensive care, I kept thinking about his big heart, but not in a cardiomyopathic way. He has always been very kind, generous, and a natural ladies' man. So it was quite natural to write a song for him calling out his "Big Heart."

Recognizing a kind person

Lyrics

Big Heart

Cho: You've got a big heart - everybody knows
Your big heart somehow always shows
I don't have to see it or touch it to believe
I know it's there because you wear it on your sleeve
You've got a big, big heart


V1: Right from the start, when you were just a child
Your big heart drove the ladies wild
I've seen them run after you, calling out your name
They'd walk through fire for you 'cause they know you'd do the same
You've got a big, big heart

Chorus:

Bridge: Sometimes the price you pay
For being born this way
Is heartache
Part of being alive is learning to survive
If anyone can - you are that man

V3: Don't get me started telling all the tales
How your big-hearted kindness never fails
To bring out the happiness in everyone you touch
I never dreamed I could love anyone this much
I love your big, big heart

Chorus
