I have a little container
Which is very special to me;
I have it now, as a child,
I’ll have it for eternity.
I have a little container
Filled with thoughts, good and bad;
My little container, though,
Has rarely made me sad.
I have a little container
It holds all things dear to me;
This little container, though,
I alone can see.
I have a little container
It can be broken, you see;
But my little container
Keeps a beat inside of me.
I have a little container
Which will never fall apart;
I have a little container,
It’s a little thing called my heart.
