I had closed the door upon my heart,
And would let no one come in.
I had trusted and I'd been hurt
But that would never happen again
I had locked the door & thrown away the key,
As far and as hard as I could.
Love would never enter again;
My heart was closed for good.
Then you came into my life
And you made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
Was impossible to find
That's when you held out your hand
And showed me I was wrong
Inside it was the key to my heart
You had it all along...
