Way down at the bottom 
Both [bad word] together 
And form a V
And that's what mama calls 
The corner of the heart
She says a lot of couples 
Never turn that corner 
They don't love that deep
They care a little while 
Then they drift apart
Well now, baby, 
If you wonder why 
I'm telling you all of this
It's because something is changing 
I can feel it when we kiss
And if the moon keeps rising 
You better hold on I am
Turning the corner of the heart

Back in the Albuquerque 
Near the river 
There was a cottonwood
One summer hooked up with 
climbing rose
And by the time it snowed 
They were so tangled 
Nothing on earth could get 
That handsome couple to let go
Well now, baby, 
This world spins too quick 
For the eye to see
The slow changing 
Of a stranger into family
But if the moon keeps rising
But if the moon keeps rising
Turning the corner of the heart 
(Turning the corner of the heart).
