Song Lyrics
A Heart That's True
It doesn’t take roses to capture my heart.
I don’t need imported chocolates with a card.
I don’t need diamond earrings to wear when I’m with you.
All I need is a heart that’s true.
You could give me a mansion lookin’ out on the sea.
You could buy a silver Cadillac for me.
But they wouldn’t mean a thing unless I knew
You could give me a heart that’s true.
Show me the love I see in your eyes–
Not a candy-coated dream in disguise.
Just for once, would you show me that you understand.
Show me what’s in your heart, not what’s in your hand.
Show me you’ll be there when things are goin’ wrong.
Beside me when my beauty is gone.
Your love is all that matters when the world is through.
Let it come from a heart that’s true.
All I want is a heart that’s true.

The Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song to play in the showcase for my songwriting class at Brigham Young University. It is a country song about wanting the kind of love that comes from a heart that's true.
