From the recording I Carry Your Heart - Alexis Cole Sings Pepper Adams
Lyrics
I Carry Your Heart
Twelve bells, twelve bells now,
measure your heart, the twin of my own,
nestled deep within my rapture,
silver on silver, pure golden rapture.
You are the wonder
keeping the stars apart.
Oh I carry your heart, I carry your heart;
it's safe where I keep it within my heart.
We are one, we're the river's branches,
splitting streams are one,
flow over stones,
as we rise and ripple, to join with joy
in the downhill valley,
join with joy.
Twelve bells, twelve bells now,
measure your heart, the twin of my own,
nestled deep within my rapture.
Oh, I carry your heart.
