David Roth – Lend Your Heart to Love
 On the floor of some motel room down in Florida one spring
 I fell victim to the charms of Nanci Goldman
 We'd kissed a lot in high school, that's as far as it had gone
 And I was sure I'd be a virgin as an old man
 
 All too nervous and naively I believe we said goodnight
 The next thing that I knew she was above me
 Her eyes were full of fire, somehow mine were full of fear
 I fell silent when she asked me "Do you love me?"
 
 We never did a thing that night, I've often wished we had
 How often do you get a chance to touch someone like that?
 I don't mean in clumsy passion or that lonely lover's shove
 But that moment when you lend your heart to love 
 
 That summer I was living at the house of my best friend
 And one day he introduced his girlfriend's cousin
 To say that I fell hopelessly in awe of Patti Jo
 Would largely understate the state I was in
 
 We were laying round the living room one steamy August night
 The next thing that I knew I was above her
 My eyes were full of fire, somehow hers were full of fear
 Neither one of us had ever had a lover
 
 We never did a thing that night, I wonder if we had
 If a dose of clumsy passion could have really been so bad
 But she was scared and so was I, and neither sure what of
 I guess that moment when you lend your heart to love
 
 I only mentioned Nanci for the feelings she unlocked
 And Patti was so pretty, but we never even talked
 Now both of them are married, no redress and no regrets
 I was only warming up for what was next
 
 In the kitchen of my sister's fifth-floor walk-up in New York
 I sat staring in the gaze of Mary Fisher
 Never had I fallen on such gentle, gentile eyes
 And never such an urge as then to kiss her
 
 We were fumbling through the small-talk silence, grasping every straw
 The next thing that I knew we were embracing
 I don't know why but somehow I knew this was what I'd missed
 I could tell just by the way my heart was racing
 
 We stayed up talking all night long, that's mostly what we did
 And when the sun came up we stumbled to the subway like two kids
 And that's when I began to learn what we'd been talking of
 About that moment when you lend your heart to love
 
 If you're lucky maybe once in life you'll have the chance to find
 Someone to give your heart to whose reciprocally inclined
 You'll never know it's coming and you won't know what to say
 Just drop everything you're doing on that day
 And don't you ever let that moment slip away
