Stephen Schwartz
Empty Heart
I know my heart is large
That's why it feels so empty
If I could have just one wish come true
I'd fill this empty heart
I'd fill my days with work
I'd fill my nights with dreaming
And wait in hopes of a someone who
Can fill this empty heart
Like an open shell on the shore
Like a riverbank dry up all water
Nothing's growing here anymore
Is it too late
For life
To start?
On such a magic night
When all the world is shinin'
My foolish prayer may travel far
I even wish on the wishing star
To fill this empty heart
