What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I met her in a church on a Sunday evening
2
Not late on Saturday night
3
She sang Ave Maria a little flat and out of time
4
But that's what drew me to her, so that's alright
5
As she placed a nickle in the basket
6
That I held before her
7
I asked her to be my wife
8
And there's one cardboard heart
9
For every time you said I love you
10
A painted star for every secret that we shared
11
The dried Lima beans and small plastic birds
12
Because you cared
13
I hear their talk and I watch them swap
14
Their old black and whites
15
Bitter and beaten they talk of life's cheatin'
16
Like old boxers comparing scars
17
All I remember is a smile at the top of every working morning
18
And a shoulder always willing and able
19
And all those nights that we'd spend just sitting
20
And talking around our kitchen table
21
And there's one cardboard heart
22
For every time you said I love you
23
A painted star for every secret that we shared
24
The dried Lima beans and small plastic birds
25
Because you cared
26
Five rooms made stronger by the breaking and the healing
27
Of the two hearts they protected within
28
Now one heart left aching, just piecing and painting
29
These walls with the memories of all that is real
30
And there's one cardboard heart
31
For every time you said I love you
32
A painted star for every secret that we shared
33
The dried Lima beans and small plastic birds
34
Because you cared
35
And there's one cardboard heart
36
For every time you said I love you
37
A painted star for every secret that we shared
38
The dried Lima beans and small plastic birds
39
Because you cared
