Verse:

I some -times wish I was a kid a -gain,

Down in the old neigh -bor -hood,

Just to be with Char -lie, with lit -tle Joe and Pete,

Boy, we had a quar -tette that was might -y hard to beat,

I'd love to stand down by that cel -lar door,

Just to hear that quar -tette sing once more,

 

Chorus:

"Heart Of My Heart," I love that mel -o -dy,

"Heart Of My Heart" brings back a mem -o -ry,

When we were kids on the cor -ner of the street,

We were rough and read -y guys, But Oh! How we could har -mon -ize,

"Heart Of My Heart," meant friends were dear -er then,

Too bad we had to part.

I know a tear would glis -ten if once more I could lis -ten

To that gang that sang "Heart Of My Heart."
