I showed you my heart, I sang you my song
You heard my guitar play;
In a minute or so I may be gone,
So there's just one more thing I should say:

All that matters in this life below
Is not what you are or how much you know;
All the world's knowledge can make the mind smart,
But the diff'rence is made in the heart.

I sing songs of joy, I sing songs of pain,
Songs that will move the soul;
But if I should never sing them again,
Here's something you've got to know;

All that matters in this life below
Is not what you are or how much you know;
All the world's knowledge can make the mind smart,
But the diff'rence is made in the heart.
But the diff'rence is made in the heart.
