Sting - Shape Of My Heart (lyrics)

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesnt play for the money he wins
He doesnt play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart
Thats not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
Youd maybe think theres something wrong
Im not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart
Thats not the shape of my heart

LEON is one of those movies that ages like a fine wine. The older it gets the subtle notes rise to the surface and display a creamy taste that one savors with lasting pleasure. There is nothing flat or astringent in it, rather its floral bouquet blossoms with an aroma that leaves one intoxicated and begging for more. Reno and Portman are flawless completely subsumed by their characters and the depth of their relationship is palpable. Oldman's performance is sheer genius, clearly one of the greatest performances in the history of Cinema. One of the finest movies ever made or ever to be made. This brilliant song is the perfect accompaniment to this exquisite movie.

Great Movie !!! Gary Oldman was incredible !!! The greatest actor who never won Oscar !!

[nilighosh]

I wish the songs were still this beautifully written. This is emotionally moving. One of my favourite songs of all time. Thanks for sharing.

A song that'll never be forgotten, and one that help make the film Leon unforgettable, and truly hit my heart. Truly a masterpiece of a film that was perfect with such a strong emotional, action-packed storyline and what a soundtrack. Honestly, one of the very few films, that you can truly say has no flaws, and one that everyone can agree is perfect. Jean, Portman, and Oldman, three legends. The lyrics to this is such a masterpiece as well and hits the heart of everyone, a perfect fit. What a time. Legends.

Sting, what a genius. He was born within 4 centuries. Best lyrics ever, way too much for this superficial world.

Фильм о любви и человечности ...
