Heart of My Heart

I sometimes wish I was a kid again,
Down in the old neighborhood.
Just to be with Charlie, with little Joe and Pete,
Boy, we had a quartet that was mighty hard to beat!
I'd love to stand down by that cellar door,
just to hear that quartet sing once more:

"Heart of my heart" -
I love that melody.
"Heart of my heart" -
brings back a memory.
When we were kids on the corner of the street,
We were rough and ready guys,
but oh, how we could harmonize!

"Heart of my heart"
Meant friends were dearer then.
Too bad we had to part.
I know a tear would glisten
If only I could listen
To the gang that sang
"Heart of my heart."

Heart of my heart,
How I love that melody
Heart of my heart,
Brings back fond memories,
When we were kids on the corner of the street,
We were rough and ready guys
But oh how we could harmonize

Heart of my heart,
Oh how our friends
Were dearer then,
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
If once more I could listen
To the gang that sang
Heart of my heart.
