Heard about a man From Birmingham Went down to Selma To take a stand How much Can one heart hold He sang some songs About peace and love And took a beatin' From a billy club How much Can one heart hold How much Can one heart hold A pound of dirt Or a pound of gold We may never know The truth be told How much Can one heart hold I met a woman Who lost a son On a chopper In South Saigon How much Can one heart hold I couldn't tell you All the tears She's cried I guess she's gonna 'Til the day she dies How much Can one heart hold If the heart Is a bottomless pit You gotta watch What you put in it How much Can one heart hold Before you know It you're carrying around A ton of stuff That'll weigh you down How much Can one heart hold
