Heart on a String

When I was a child
I'd sit on the swing
And close my eyes tight
I'd think of anything

I'd hang my head back
And believed I could fly
Now I hang my head down
Cause I want to cry

When I was a child
I had eyes on this girl
She was the queen of monkey bars
And this sandbox world

I let her share my juice
And we'd play anything
Now I have this girl
Who has my heart on a string

And it spins and it twirls
It's all just for her
How big is our playground
In our sandbox world

Three thousand miles
By plane or by car
We'll play tag till I catch you
It's not that far

When I was a child
I played pretend and I dressed
Like the courageous super hero
Saving the damsel in distress

Now I know I'm not a hero
And distress means so many things
But one thing is certain
She has my heart on a string

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep;
The more I give to thee
The more I have,
For both are infinite. "
William Shakespeare
