"In A Woman's Heart" was the Maltese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996, performed in English by Miriam Christine.
The song is a ballad, with Miriam singing about falling in love with a man whom she is unsure she should be falling for. She sings that, "In a woman's heart, a dream is for life any day", explaining that she believed his promises. It appears that he is leaving her now, and she sings that this is "breaking a woman's heart".
The song was performed sixth on the night, following Cyprus' Constantinos with "Mono Yia Mas" and preceding Croatia's Maja Blagdan with "Sveta ljubav". At the close of voting, it had received 68 points, placing 10th in a field of 23.
It was succeeded as Maltese representative at the 1997 Contest by Debbie Scerri with "Let Me Fly".

Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or heart:
“If woman alone had suffered under these mistaken traditions [of women’s subordination], if she could have borne the evil by herself, it would have been less pitiful, but her brother man, in the laws he created and ignorantly worshipped, has suffered with her. He has lost her highest help; he has crippled the intelligence he needed; he has belittled the very source of his own being and dwarfed the image of his Maker.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
