Trudbol One Man Barbershop A Cappella Quartet performing the classic "Heart Of My Heart", as performed by "The Gang That Sang".

(The Gang that Sang) Heart of My Heart is a popular song. The music and lyrics were written by Ben Ryan. It reminisces about singing a song called "Heart of My Heart" in a youthful quartet.

"Heart Of My Heart" also known as "The Story of the Rose," was written by Andrew Mack (1863-1931) in 1899, according to the Barbershop Harmony Society. Mack was a popular Irish actor, singer and comedian who reportedly first sang this song in an 1899 show at The Academy of Music in New York. The show was "The Last of the Rohans," written and produced by Mack.

The earlier 1899 song is a standard among barbershop quartets the world over. It is one of the most popular songs sung on Valentine's Day, as quartets deliver Singing Valentines to unsuspecting recipients in their homes, offices, classrooms, shops, train stops and other likely and unlikely places. In this context, the verses are usually omitted and only the chorus is sung.

LYRICS:
"Heart Of My Heart", I love that melody
"Heart Of My Heart" brings back a memory
When we were kids on the corner of the street
We were rough and ready guys
But Oh! How we could harmonize
"Heart Of My Heart" meant friends were dearer then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
if once more I could listen
To that gang that sang "Heart Of My Heart"
