The Heart is Slow to Learn

[butterflydreaming]

The early version of what became "Love Never Dies," the title song of the PotO musical "sequel," was Kiri te Kanawa singing "The Heart is Slow to Learn." It literally brought a tear to my eye. It's all in the delivery.



The Heart Is Slow To Learn
The Heart Is Slow To Learn
These Feelings That I Feel
Are Foolish But They’re Real
I’m Wise Enough To See
This Love Will Never Be
And Each Day’s Like The Last,
When Living In The Past
I Know It’s Mad And You Won’t Return
But Then, As I Have Said,
The Heart Is Slow To Learn
I’ll Live Alone, As I Have Loved You
Why Is Love Cruel?
I Wish I Knew!
Say What You Will, It Doesn’t Matter
Until I Die, There’s Only You
Until I Die, There’s Only You
The Heart Is Slow To Learn,
The Heart Is Slow To Learn
You’d Think There’d Be A Way
To Shut Out Yesterday
Perhaps If I Just Thought
Of All The Times We Fought
I’ve Tried All That But No
There’s Just No Letting Go
I Know It’s Mad And You Won’t Return
But Then, As I Have Said,
The Heart Is Slow To Learn
Why Is Love Cruel?
I Wish I Knew!
Say What You Will,
It Doesn’t Matter
Until I Die There’s Only You
Until I Die There’s Only You
Why Is Love Cruel?
I Wish I Knew!
Say What You Will
It Doesn’t Matter
Until I Die There’s Only You
Until I Die There’s Only You.
