I BELONG TO YOUR HEART
(Carl Sigman / Jacques Brel)

as recorded by Sam Cooke
1960


I belong to your heart,
You alone can possess me,
No-one else can caress me,
I belong to your heart!

I belong to your heart
With devotion, and seeing
Every part of my being
Is a part of your heart!

And when you reach out for me,
Your two arms are a magnet,
And I'm caught in the dragnet;
Oh, but who wants to be free?

And when you kiss me, I know
That for now and all time,
I just have to be yours, my love,
You just have to be mine!

I belong to your heart,
Like the sun to the day,
Like the stars to the night,
I belong to your heart, oh!

As I kneel at your throne,
Say you'll love me alone;
Let me hear from your heart, my love,
That I belong!
