Into the heart
Of a child
I stay awhile
But I can go back
Into the heart
Of a child
I can smile
I can go there
Into the heart
Into the heart of a child
I can go back
I can stay awhile
Into the heart
Into the heart
Composed by U2 / Bono

About "Into The Heart"
From the original U2 Album "Boy" (20 October 1980)
"An Cat Dubh" (English: "The Black Cat") and "Into the Heart" are the third and fourth tracks, respectively, from U2's debut album, Boy. The two songs are played together as one, both on the album, and during live performances.
Track running times
On European pressings of Boy, "An Cat Dubh" runs at a track time of 4:47, and "Into the Heart" runs at 3:28. On North American pressings of the album, "An Cat Dubh" runs at 6:21, and "Into the Heart" runs at 1:58.This can be easily noted by the visible difference between the two vinyls. However, the tracks together sound identical on both pressings, and also both have a total run time of 8:14. Early compact disc releases combined the two songs into a single track. Due to the track time differences, it is difficult to make an official determination of where one song begins and where one ends (although the band's digital box set The Complete U2 and the 2008 remastered version of Boy standardized the original European pressings' running times). Because of this, both songs are usually considered to be one track.
The 1998 single "Sweetest Thing," features a live performance of both songs from the War Tour, but only "An Cat Dubh" is listed.
Live performances
The songs were played at most shows on the Boy, October, and War tours, as well as the first leg of the Unforgettable Fire Tour. Following that, neither song was played until the Vertigo Tour in 2005, where it appeared at just over half of the concerts on the first leg of the tour. It was played on one occasion on the second leg, but was subsequently dropped.
Live performances of "An Cat Dubh"/"Into the Heart" have been released on "Sweetest Thing", digital album Live from Boston 1981, Vertigo 2005: Live from Chicago, and the remastered DVD release of Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky. [From Wikipedia]
