Das sind die Original-Lyrics von "A Good Heart" von Feargal Sharkey

I hear a lot of stories

I suppose they could be true

All about love and what it can do to you

Highest risk of striking out

The risk of getting hurt

And still I have so much to learn

Well, I know

'Cause I think about it all the time

I know that real love has quite a price

And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)

True love, the lasting kind

A good heart, these days, is hard to find

So please be gentle with this heart of mine

My expectations may be high, I blame it on my youth

Soon enough, I'd learned the painful truth

I'll face it like a fighter, then boast of how I've grown

Anything is better than being alone

Well, I know

'Cause I learn a little every day

I know

'Cause I listen when the experts say that

That a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)

True love, the lasting kind

A good heart, these days, is hard to find

So please be gentle with this heart of mine

Yeah

As I look back on all my childhood dreams

My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed

If I don't start looking now, I'll be left behind

And a good heart these days it's hard to find

I know

It's a dream I'm willing to defend

I know

It will all be worth it in the end

And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)

True love, the lasting kind

A good heart these days is hard to find

So please be gentle with this heart of mine

And a good heart these days is hard to find (a good heart)

True love, the lasting kind

A good heart these days is hard to find

So please be gentle with this heart

With this heart of mine (of mine)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (a good heart)

Ah, baby, baby (a good heart)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (a good heart)

Ah, ah, ah-ah (a good heart)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) keep it up, keep it up, keep it up

(A good heart)

Ooh, baby, baby (a good heart)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (a good heart)
