Lyrics
I made a copy of the key Hung it on a red string For a baby not yet walking For the day you'll learn everything The house is quiet tonight The crib is by the door I stand there in the lamplight Like I never stood before Little heart, little heart This house will always know your name Little heart, little heart The door is open when you came When you're grown and far away There's a key for you to stay Little heart, little heart My father gave me one When I was seventeen He said you'll always have a home That's all that it must mean I hold your tiny hand It wraps around my thumb I promise that the light stays on Whenever you may come Little heart, little heart This house will always know your name Little heart, little heart The door is open when you came When you're grown and far away There's a key for you to stay Little heart, little heart Years will run like rain Down the window glass Some things never change Some things always last Little heart, little heart This house will always know your name Little heart, little heart The door is open when you came When you're grown and far away There's a key for you to stay Little heart, little heart
