Lyrics

The Measure of a Heart

It's in the eyes of a mother watching her babies play
It's in the smiles on their faces laughin' when they look her way
It's in the words of a song that say what you're achin' to say
Ya don't have to look far to find the measure of a heart

It's in the pride of a soldier standin up for what he believes
In the prayer of his father down on bended knee
It's a friend reachin' out to a friend in his time of need
Don't have to look far to find the measure of a heart
CHORUS
No a heart isn't measured by the way it looks
It ain't facts & figures from a high school book
Tho' a heart's no bigger than a coffee cup
all the love in the world couldn't ever fill it up

It's an old married couple arm in arm strollin round the town
It's the last three words they whisper when the sun goes down
It's the way that one red rose can turn your day around
You don't have to look far to find the measure of a heart
INSTR CHORUS
It's doin your best to stand in your hero's shoes
And tryin to be the person your kids can look up to
It's the memories you leave when the good Lord calls for you
Ya don't have to look far to find the measure of a heart
Ya don't have to look far to find the measure of a heart
