Heart of the World

[Verse 1] Tin cans on rattling pavement Confetti scattered everywhere She falls asleep in the seat beside me Rice caught up in her hair I don't mind it, I keep driving Flying on these wheels of steel A bit anxious, a bit nervous The moment's all that we can feel [Chorus 1] If oil is the soul of the engine And wine is the drink of the Gods Forgiveness the road to redemption Faith can still beat the odds We're meant to be baby hold on to me You'll never not be my girl 'Cause love is the heart of the world [Verse 2] I leave him sleeping as I rise early Always up before the dawn The house is dark, but I see clearly Kettle sings a morning song The bacon's frying, babies crying I soak up the sights and sounds Minutes turn to days and I wish that I could slow it down [Chorus 2] If grease is the soul of the kitchen And coffee the drink of the Gods Routine too perfect to mention Time is a thief I would rob We're meant to be baby hold onto me I'll never not be your girl 'Cause love is the heart of the world [Bridge] Oh, and hope is the soul of the dreamer And heaven is the home of my God It only takes one true believer To believe you can still beat the odds [Outro] We're meant to be, baby, hold onto me You'll never not be my girl (I'll never not be your girl) 'Cause love is the heart, love is the heartt Love is the heart of the world
