A SLIGHTLY USED HEART

A SLIGHTLY USED HEART

They say love is best
When it's in its prime,
I've a slightly used heart
But it's mighty fine.

I've loved a lot of people
Way back in my day,
My never lost
Or got in my way!

When I was very young.
I lent it out to one or two
Nice young men they were,
But none were true!

Oh, yes, my heart broke
And it took some time
To find a band-aid for
This heart of mine!

Now that I'm old
And my hair is white -
I dream of love
And its delight!

So I'll still look around
'Till I have to part;
Someone might just need
A slightly used heart!
