HEART OF A MAN
(Peggy Cochrane / Paddy Roberts)

Frankie Vaughan - 1959


The heart of a man is a secret
That no one can ever explain
The fire that is quietly smouldering
May suddenly burst into flame
How strange it can change in a moment
Without any purpose or plan
In life there is no other mystery
As deep as the heart of a man
The heart of a man may be burning
With jealousy, passion or greed
Or filled with a desperate yearning
As weak as a broken reed
And so it has been through the ages
Since Adam and Eve first began
But all I can do is to offer you
My love and the heart of a man
And so it has been through the ages
Since Adam and Eve first began
But all I can do is to offer you
My love and the heart of a man
