Jewel of My Heart

Lyrics

Jewel of My Heart Mark Neihart © 1995 Not that long ago, a spark fell from the hand of God Landing in the lake of my heart Up on that mountainside It’s the light of love, and it shines a brilliant goldenrod Giving off a light that is shaped Like the stars in a summer sky And it makes me high My little lady It’s covered with a cloth, that was woven by the hands Of a virgin queen Living in a castle fair up on that heart shaped lake The cloth is gold and red, and it shines an iridescent sheen It’s beauty is unmatched but by the wonder of her face And she’s got your face My little lady And on that summer night, when the wind was blowing warmly And the moon so bright When you reached for me back when the world was new And my heart, it came to tell me - I love you. Just the other day, I was walking on Wasatch boulavard High enough to see the mountain range out across the lake Somehow, I saw your face, and that’s when it hit my hard The jewel that I carry in my heart is just like a summer day. I’ve written it up, I’ve written it down, I’ve written it out And I’ve got no doubt, that the jewel let it shine for you And here we are today, still swooning from the light of love Shining from the Jewel in my heart there like the summer dew It’s the summer dew…my little lady. And on that summer night, when the wind was blowing warmly And the moon so bright When you reached for me back when the world was new And my heart, it came to tell me - I love you. The jewel in my heart is nothing less than Loves’ clear joy Shining through the view of the endless boundaries in my soul It’s what I have to give, to sing to you this joy filled noise Crying from the jewel in my heart there trying to make me whole You’re going to make me whole, my little lady. And on that summer night, when the wind was blowing warmly And the moon so bright When you reached for me back when the world was new And my heart, it came to tell me - I love you.
