There is a place within my heart
Where sometimes I must go
You see, I have some secrets there
That only I can know
When shadows fall across the room
And daylight turns to dusk
My mind turns to this special place
I visit when I must
The way I felt one summer day
Is there for me to find
And the way someone special smiled at me
Well, that is truly mine
These are things I cannot share
Or tell a single soul
The magic is their secret power
That only I can know
Between my dreams and reality
There is a place of rest
I sort through memories so old
And keep those I like best
When the world seems cold and tiresome
I have a place to go
A treasure box of secret thoughts
With the key locked in my soul
