BOOKENDS, by R. SCOTT BOWEN First Line: Between the bookends / of my heart Last Line: Of my heart ... | |||
Between the bookends Of my heart I keep the stories of our love ... The one that tells of that first night When we knew each sweet surrender ... Sang our song of love And found such comfort In the silent wisdom of the stars ... The one that tells of your farewell ...
