IF MY HEART HAD A WINDOW
(Helen Costa / Don Costa)

as recorded by Jo Stafford
with orchestra conducted by Don Costa
1962


If my heart had a window
And you could look inside,
It would help you understand
What I have tried to hide.

For my heart beats no faster
When you press your lips to mine,
And the tears that Fill my ears
Will dry away in time.

You said our love would last,
That true love needs no rings;
I tried to say I didn't care
About such foolish things!

If my heart had a window,
You would see it couldn't last,
For true love is in the question,
The one you never asked!

Now another love has seen my heart
And made it smile with pride,
For he has asked the question,
And now I'll be his bride!

Now my heart has a window,
Through the eyes of love, that's true!
On your wedding day you'll know this love
Has finely come to you!
