My heart has been hurt many a year

Many a times, with many a situation

My heart was broken many times

from even just one man

And it waits still for reconciliation.

Be still my heart.

I am comforted by visions

of old time rooms in black and white

Feeling the need for the old days

When life was simple

and before anyone could hurt me

Be still my heart, for the sake of old lives.

Why am I so comforted

by these pictures in black and white?

Be still my heart
