"Gate Of Hearts" lyrics - THE BEAU BRUMMELS

In the winter of my youth
I was frozen by fear
Love was just a castle in the snow
The gate of hearts was locked
Love ignored me when I knocked
Long ago

In the spring, sunshine melted
All the ice from the ground
When I hear your voice calling after me
The gate of hearts was open wide
When your love came inside
To set me free

And the gate of hearts was open
And your love came shining like the sun
Deep in love, the summer burned
As we lived and loved and learned

[Instrumental bridge]

Now these autumn leaves have fallen
From the tree of my life
And the memory of my youth begins to fade
I await to hear you sing
Of the first breath of spring well away

And the gate of hearts is open
And your love come shining like the sun
Deep in love, the summer burns
As we lived and loved and learned...

[Instrumental Outro]
