I can't help smiling when I look at you,
To keep from going crazy is all I can do.
I'm so defenseless with you so close,
The walls have crumbled from my body and soul
Write your name across my heart.
I want the world to know that I am yours forever.
And I will wear it like a shining star.
Write your name across my heart.
To you my life is an open door.
Everything I have is yours.
I'll try to give you everything you need,
But as far as love goes, there's a life-time guarantee.
Write your name across my heart.
I want the world to know that I am yours forever.
And I will wear it like a shining star.
Write your name across my heart.
In all my thoughts, in all I do, in all I say,
I belong to you with every breath I take....
Write your name across my heart,
I want the world to know that I am yours forever.
And I will wear it like a shining star.
Write your name, across my heart.
And I will wear it like a shining star,
Write your name across my heart.
Across my heart.
Across my heart.

Kenny Rogers' song 'Write Your Name (Across My Heart)' is a love song expressing deep devotion and commitment to a romantic partner. The lyrics describe the singer's vulnerability and total surrender to love, asking his beloved to mark his heart as a sign of eternal belonging. While the language of devotion and 'forever' could be interpreted spiritually, the song is clearly about human romantic love, not Christian faith or worship. There is no mention of God, Jesus, or biblical themes. Therefore, it is not a Christian song.
