(WISH I HAD A) HEART OF STONE
(Wayland Holyfield / Richard Leigh)


Baillie & The Boys - 1988



Stone, wish I had a heart of stone
Then it wouldn't hurt so bad being alone
Dam, wish that I could build a dam
To hold back the tears that flow on and on

But my heart's not made of stone
And my tears I can't control
'Cause my heart's so filled with love for you

Wall, wish that I could build a wall
All around that heart of stone 
You couldn't get through

Dream, wish I never had a dream
Then I couldn't care at all
That you never came true

But I cannot build a wall
And my dreams still don't come true
'Cause my heart's still filled with love for you

Wish that I could find a way
To live without your love someday
Then I wouldn't have to say

Stone, wish I had a heart of stone
Then it wouldn't hurt so bad being alone
Dam, I wish I didn't give a dam
And hold back the tears that flow on and on

But my heart's not made of stone
And my tears I can't control
'Cause my heart's so filled with love for you

I wish I had a heart of stone
(Wish I had a heart of stone)
Stone (Stone) 
Wish I had a heart of stone
Oh, Stone (Stone)
I wish I had a heart of stone
Stone (Stone)
I wish I had a heart of stone
