"WHEN LOVE COMES KNOCKING"

When love comes knocking
Do I open the door
Do I let you in
or hide in the shadows
like I did before

What do I do
when you come around
Pretend I'm not home
and not make a sound

I opened the door
to love long ago
But, it wasn't right
it hurt me so

Here you are now
waiting for me
You knocked on my heart
You do have the key



I built that wall
around my heart
Put a chain and locked it tight
But, when I look at you
everything seems, so right

You just melt
the wall and chain away
I look into your eyes
They tell me,
"Everything's going to be, Okay"

But never did you just
assume....
that you could use that key
You so carefully
considered my feelings
You asked me

Yes, when you come knocking
I will let you in
Don't you know
You had my heart
a long time ago
