Dear Hearts and Gentle People [*] Lyrics

I love those dear hearts an' gentle people
Who live in my home town
Because those dear hearts an' gentle people
Will never, ever, let you down!

They read the 'Good-Book' from Fri 'till Monday
That's how the weekend goes!
I've got a 'dream-house' I'll build there one day,
With a picket-fence an' ramblin' rose!

I feel so welcome each time that I return,
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love those dear hearts an' gentle people,
Who live an' love in my home town!

I love those people!

I love those dear hearts an' gentle people
Who live in my home town
Because those dear hearts an' gentle people
Will never, ever let you down!

They read the 'Good-Book' from Fri 'till Monday
That's how the weekend goes!
I've got a 'dream-house' I'll build there one day
With a picket-fence and a ramblin' rose!

I love the dear hearts an' gentle people
Who shout a friendly 'Hi'
When they go passin' by
Who live an' love in my home town!

Ah! These are my kinda people!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
