In honor of Valentine's Day, how about some expressions with a heart? For instance,

She wears her heart on her sleeve
I don't have the heart to say no
He has a heart of ice

And etc. Anybody?

Straight to the heart
Heart-Hands-Head-Health (4H, if I remember correctly)
...and as an afterthought...
Be still my beating heart!

I left my heart in San Francisco - and my liver in Milwaukee

"It is only with the heart that one sees clearly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes." St-Exupery

Rapunzel, your bio says you like talking to your ducks and chickens. What, no rabbit? With a handle like Rapunzel, I'd expect a lanky bunny, so people could say, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hare."

"Villains, I shrieked, dissemble no more....." E. A. Poe, The Telltale Heart
Oh, that incessant beating, whenever will it cease? Cupids unfailing arrows will certainly inflame many on the morrow but mine is claimed and chained and safed as surely as if my love had rent my chest asunder and hid that pulsing mass neath the floor of her soul.

Well i can be hard-hearted, but my heart melts for a ballad--

there is one an old (14th century) french one (bel please help if you know the french) the Chant d'amour i think
"the songs of love, they fill my heart with joy
the songs of love will last my whole life long.."

the traditional tune was modified slightly, and used by the King, (Elvis) for "Fools rush in, where wise men fear to go"

The heart of a Fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
