How difficult it is to love
And how easy it is to forget...
Giving advice is so easy,
Being right is so difficult!
The heart is treacherous:
It always tells the truth...
How easy it is to ask for forgiveness;
How difficult it is to forgive...
And how difficult it is to say
'I love you', without meaning it.
The heart is treacherous:
It always tells the truth...
[Chorus:]
Clever heart, so perfect,
Stop keeping watch over me!
Why won't you watch over my dreams
Without giving your opinion?
Clever heart, so perfect,
Stop keeping watch over me!
Life isn't that serious
And I, I do like to play...
How easy it is to criticize,
How difficult it is to offer help!
It's so easy to make promises,
It's so difficult to honour them...
The heart is treacherous:
It always tells the truth...
[Chorus:]
Clever heart, so perfect,
Stop keeping watch over me!
Why won't you watch over my dreams
Without giving your opinion?
Clever heart, so perfect,
Stop keeping watch over me!
Life isn't that serious
And I, I do like to play...
[Instrumental]
[Chorus:]
Clever heart, so perfect,
Stop keeping watch over me!
Why won't you watch over my dreams
Without giving your opinion?
Clever heart, so perfect,
Stop keeping watch over me!
Life isn't that serious
And I, I do like to play...
