The story behind this song . . . I thought of the title way before I wrote the lyric because I was uncertain of what type of love story I wanted to tell. I did not choose the obvious but when it was complete it became a sweet and gentle but powerful song about a special kind of love
All feedback is welcome - just a note that I am not singing on this track because - well - I cannot sing. Florence Foster Jenkins is way better than me.

IF MY HEART HAD A PEN © 2019
CHORUS
If my heart had a pen it would write its own story
That would have a beginning but never an end
It would tell of the love it felt when I first saw you
Oh the story I’d write if my heart had a pen
V1
The littlest hand with five tiny fingers
Grabbed hold of my heart and never let go
A special connection that started right then
That’s what I would write if my heart had a pen
V2
How the shape of my heart kept changing and growing
Each time that you laughed with each step you took
Then it ached with each bruise to your heart and your skin
That’s what I would write if my heart had a pen
CHORUS
If my heart had a pen it would write its own story
That would have a beginning but never an end
It would tell of the love it felt when I first saw you
Oh the story I’d write if my heart had a pen
V3
Your very first love your very last heartbreak
The way that you looked when you walked down the aisle
The way it feels now the way it felt then
Would be written with love if my heart had a pen
BRIDGE
Now that you’re older and have gone your own way
The writing continues but with less words to say
I know that your heart will soon pick up a pen
And write its own story that never will end
CHORUS
If my heart had a pen it would write its own story
That would have a beginning but never an end
It would tell of the love it felt when I first saw you
That’s the story I’d write if my heart had a pen

Hi Joan
This song had a nice story to it as I am guessing it was about one of your children maybe? It had nice lyrics to it and a nice gentle flow throughout the song. I have to admit it was a little slow for me but overall a nice song. Thanks for sharing
