Never Give all the Heart

Never Give All The Heart - The Chieftains

Written by：Paddy Moloney/W.B. Yeats

Never give all the heart for love

Will hardly seem worth thinking of

To passionate women if it seem

Certain

Never give all the heart for love

Will hardly seem worth thinking of

To passionate women if it seem certain

And they never dream

That it fades out from kiss to kiss

For everything that's lovely is

But a brief dreamy kind delight

O never give the heart outright

For they for all smooth lips can say

Have given their hearts up to the play

And who could play it well enough

If deaf and dumb and blind with love

He that made this knows all the cost

For he gave all his heart and lost

They for all smooth lips can say

Have given their hearts up to the play

Never give all the heart
