Lyrics
THE VOICE IN YOUR HEART
Had a brand new baseball mitt
Had a brand new ball
But the boys all said no girls allowed
Go home play with your doll
Well I played that game scored three runs
Even skinned my knee
I could see the pride in momma?s eyes
Then she said to me
CHORUS:
Your heart has a voice of it?s own
As long as you can heart it
You?ll never be alone
It?ll carry you to distant shores
That aren?t on any chart
Whispering like thunder
THE VOICE IN YOUR HEART
That baseball mitt?s collected dust
Going on twelve years
He strolls in at three a.m.
I fight back the tears
A stirring deep inside me says
This ain?t no way to be
And I think back on momma?s words
When she said to me
CHORUS (Repeat)
Packed my mitt in the old suitcase
And headed out the drive
Looking to the future where
Life?s not a compromise
And someday if I?m lucky
I?ll have a little girl
And I?ll pass along this baseball mitt
And the words I?ll say to her
CHORUS (Repeat)
